This is an awesome museum!. I had never been to any of the great lakes and this museum is loaded with history.

The Maritime museum in Erie is easy to drive to with lots of free parking. The cost of the visit is small, and so is the museum. Very interesting and neat and nicely done.

Great museum if you like ships or the war of 1812. As a Canadian, was interesting to see from the American perspective. Wonderful tour, hosted by volunteer Pat, pristine museum, great artifacts, a real gem. Spent about 2 hours there. Could be there longer if the Niagara was in dock.

Well organized and very informative. Close to restaurants/bars and the BayFront.

this is a great place for all children no matter what there age
