Pick 3 - Lake Erie Shores & Islands

Maris Brenner
Director of Community and Industry Relations; Kalahari Resorts
What are three great off-site venues that take in the beauty of the Lake Erie Shores and Islands area?
|
- Goodtime Lake Erie Islands Cruises offers several options for groups. Planners can reserve a boat for up to 225 people for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and take full advantage of the coastline—even going all the way down to Cleveland for a Browns game if desired. Most groups like to go out on Lake Erie, listen to live music on the boat, drink cocktails, and have a great meal while looking back at Cedar Point and the coastline. It is a great option for groups wanting to get out and see the view we have to offer.
