  • Loved learning about all the history and what this monument represents. It’s an amazing structure, free to visit, and doesn’t take much time. Check it out.

  • What a tombstone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sylvia 4-star = amazing. The world larger Greek Doric column and 3rd largest USA National Park Monument at 352 total height. It may look plain, but if you have a pass, go...

  • This place is really impressive. You don't really get a feel for exactly how tall this monument is, until you are standing underneath of it looking up. It was a shame that we weren't able to go up to the observation deck, as out time was short, and the line for the elevator was way too long. What an awesome view the property offers though. Truly an honorable memorial for Perry. Next time we come, we will make it a point to ride up to the top. I'm sure that the view is breathtaking
  • If you want the most fantastic view of the island, you can only go here. It has an elevator to the top to see the whole surrounding islands and area. The monument has great information in the visitor center that tells you all about the battle, history, and the people involved. It is run by park service folk that will answer any of your questions and are friendly and professional. It is also one of the taller monuments in all of the United States. It truely is a beautiful monument, view, and amazing part of history.
  • Great memorial! Love the views you get of the different islands, Canada and Lake Erie as a whole! The park rangers were very nice and I was impressed with their knowledge of history! My only complaint is that I wish you didn’t have to reserve a date or time but that’s all! Highly recommend you stop here, it’s worth the time and money!
  • This is the international peace memorial has observatory deck. From the top you have amazing views of most of the islands near Sandusky. You will also be able to see the Canadian border and islands. It’s renovated and opened recently. The charge per adult is 10$ and kids free.
  • Very cool history about the battle of 1812. I don't think I ever remember learning about the history of this battle. There is a very cool display of history telling the story and we were lucky enough to get some back story from one of the rangers working.
