Spent a weekend camping with a Boy Scout troop. Some interesting things to see on the island. Favorite part was the ferry ride to the island. 5-6 foot waves made for an interesting ride...

We took the Jet Express and were dropped off right in the heart of the activity. We rented a golf cart and toured the entire island from every angle. Ate something then left. Crazy people over there.

It's a nice ferry ride over and many things to do there but I would advise not taking your kids Labor day weekend. My wife and I have been there twice now on the aforementioned weekend and were mooned twice. No, we are not going to try for the tri-vector! When we go back it will be in the middle...

I have been to Put In Bay a few times over the years but this was the first time we had been at the end of the season, after this trip I would probably never go again. The workers or I should say "children" at most of the places that we visited were rude, unhelpful, acted like they couldn't be...

LOVE IT! I would never take my children but it is an adult paradise for a much needed "let your hair down" weekend.

Definately a party island, but still a fun place for the family. Theres alot to do for the kids: playground downtown, perrys monument tour, perrys cave, wildlife center just to name a few. The night life is pretty self explanatory. There are bars for the young and energetic and there are bars for the more laid back.

This past weekend we decided to take our boat on an impromptu day trip to Put In Bay. The weather was great and we made it across Lake Erie in an hour. Docking at Park Place boat club for the first time was very easy and economical. They provided hourly rates or overnight rates and had several dock hands available...

This area has many restaurants, shops and other typical tourist type things. There is also the William Perry monument that you can go in and ride the elevator to the top, which is very nice and interesting. There is a large park at the Island with several different playground areas. My Nieces had a blast! There is also a carousel...
