Perry’s Attractions
There are many Put in Bay attractions, but visiting Perry’s Cave is a really special experience. This limestone cave sits 52 feet underground and contains a rare underground lake. In fact, it is one of the last caves remaining on the island with its roof intact. As far as caves in Ohio go, this is one of the best.
The dimensions of the cave are around 208 feet long and 165 feet wide. Inside contains stalactites, stalagmites, and cave pearls on the cave’s walls. The ceiling and floor were created from heavily encrusted calcium carbonate deposits from dripping water from the ceiling that has accumulated over the centuries. Year-round the temperature of the cave stays around 50°F.
The cave itself wasn’t discovered until 1813 by Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry who led his troops against the British in the Battle of Lake Erie in the War of 1812. Lake Erie provided much-needed water for the troops. Put-in-Bay’s famous Victory Hotel also used water from this lake until it burned down in 1919.
If you feel like competing against your friends and family, you will definitely want to visit the Rock Wall, Fort aMaze’n, and the War of 18 Holes Mini Golf. Each activity is rollicking good fun. The War of 18 Holes combines fun with learning and the Rock Wall was just recently remodeled.
For a relaxing change of pace, visit the Butterfly House, a 4000 sq. foot aviary full of over 50 species of butterflies. Soothing music plays as you tour this lush landscape space. There is a great gift store located here as well as in the main area of Perry’s. Choose from an amazing selection of souvenirs to remind you of your time on Put n Bay.
What’s next after Perry’s Cave Family Fun Center?
After you take your group or the little ones to explore the Perry’s Cave Family Fun Center, you might want to recharge with a cold cocktail like a margarita!
For large parties, The Boardwalk has everything! There is the Upper Deck and Bars that everyone can enjoy. The Boardwalk is known for its beautiful outdoor seating and views of Lake Erie. You can also enjoy their famous lobster bisque or Alaskan King Crab legs. Pasquale’s Cafe, The Goat Soup, Village Bakery, Mama Maria’s Pizza, or Cameo Pizza are other great options to enjoy a meal after a big day at the Perry’s Cave Family Fun Center.
For those looking to enjoy the bar scene, visitors of the island love places like Mossbacks, Hooligans, Frosty’s Bar, Boathouse Bar, The Keys, Reel Bar, Topsy Turvey, Put-in-Bay Brewery and Distillery, Mr. Ed’s Bar and Grille, Joe’s Bar, Roundhouse, or The Reel Bar to name a few!
Almost all bars have live entertainment to enjoy while you sip on a margarita and enjoy some Lake Erie Walleye. You will love the relaxed island vibe of all these places! Put-in-Bay, Ohio is known for its great food and good people. If you want to check out all of the restaurants on the island, learn more here.
If you feel like you can’t get the full island experience in one day, then don’t be afraid to book a full weekend at a Put in Bay resort, condo, or rentals. However, the sooner you book the better because lodging fills up fast!
