  • Ghostly Manor Thrill Center – For those who like to add a little bit of a scary thrill to their excursions, this one is for you!  The Ghostly Manor Thrill Center features what some reviewers have called the scariest haunted house they have ever been in, a roller rink and so much more!
  • African Safari Wildlife Park – Have you ever wanted to go on Safari?  Now you can do so while staying near Sandusky!  While not technically in Sandusky, it isn’t very far away and it is well worth the trip!  There are both a drive-through and a walk-through portion of this park and you can expect to see hundreds of exotic animals including zebra, giraffe, alpacas, bison and more.
  • Merry Go Round Museum – Do you love merry go rounds?  Then you, my friend, need to take yourself and your family to the Merry Go Round Museum!  Here you will see historic merry go rounds and carousels and you might even get a chance to see an artist carving carousel horses.  This is a great place for anyone who loves historic theme park information, art, and beautiful music.  
  • Sandusky Speedway Motorsports Park – The Sandusky Speedway Motorsports Park is the perfect place for any motorsports enthusiast!  You can watch different racing events, or, if you have always dreamt of riding in a race car, you can even purchase ride along laps.  A great place to take the boys for a weekend of fun!
