Sandusky, Ohio for School-Age Kids

Land of the Big Coasters

Savvy guides keep even history-phobic kids amused on museum tours, but Cedar Point is the star. Stay into evening when the park lights up.

At a Glance

There's no denying that Cedar Point Amusement Park is the major draw for lots of families, but don't miss out on Sandusky's lesser-known attractions, particularly the historical sites and museums. There's a lot of driving to get from place to place -- be sure to stock up on car-friendly activities.
