I've been to several tribute shows at this venue over 2 years and we've always had a good time. Admission is reasonably priced. Lots of free parking and easy access. Employees at the ticket table have always been very friendly. The entertainment has always been enjoyable. David Brighton's Space Oddity is a must see. Would like to see "designated" smoking areas. Not a fan of secondary smoke. Also, inside restrooms would have been great. That's why I gave it 4 stars. No place to wash hands and porta-johns never have hand sanitizer in them.

Sprenger Health Care Stadium is the home of the Lake Erie Crushers, an professional, independent baseball team affiliated with the Frontier League. Aside from hosting the 48 Crushers home games, Sprenger Stadium hosts the Mid-American Conference Baseball Tournament, local college and high school baseball games, and concerts. Enjoy a fun, affordable night for the whole family at Sprenger Health Care Stadium!
The stadium is the perfect size to take a young family. You are up close to the action, it is very well maintained. If you happen to be there on a fireworks night, you will not be disappointed! Also, it is very accessible from I90.

This is a great trip to make with family, friends, or for a stroll alone. It is accessible for wheel chair bound with sidewalks throughout the rose garden park. Walk slowly to enjoy the colors and variety of colors, types, and scents. This beautiful garden includes the view of Lake Erie and the Lorain County Light House which is a historical site. Bring a lunch or stop by a nearby restaurant for lunch or dinner or an ice cream stand is close by (driving distance).

My sisters and I decided to give our father a private charter walleye fishing trip on Lake Erie for his birthday. After doing some research, I found Sara J Fishing Charters out of Lorain, Ohio. I called to book the trip several months in advance since we wanted to be sure and have the day of our choice. We booked a half-day (4 hour) trip since Dad is a couple of years north of 80.
Booking was a breeze. Captain Gary (Carpenter) answered all my questions thoroughly and was always pleasant to talk with. He asked for a reasonable deposit and immediately sent a receipt once he received my check. Every time I'd think of another question I needed an answer to, Captain Gary was available on the other end of a phone call to answer it.
The fishing trip was loads of fun, even though we didn't even come close to limiting on the fish. The lake was rough (5-7 foot seas) and the temperature unseasonably cool for July. But Captain Popeye (yes, really), the captain of the Sara J II on which we sailed, and First Mate Scot did their absolute best to give us a good time. They made sure we were willing to brave the rough conditions before we headed out to fish by showing us, just outside the breakwater, what the conditions would be like while we were trolling. Had we changed our minds because of the conditions, they were quite willing to reschedule the trip at no additional charge.
They provided all the rods, reels, lures, bait, and cooler to store the fish. They rigged the tackle so that we could have the optimal number of lines in the water at once (there were 4 of us actively fishing). Since none of us had been walleye fishing in years, they talked us through the best way to land a walleye.
Sadly, we only caught 9 walleye on this trip. But was certainly wasn't for lack of effort on the part of Captain Popeye and First Mate Scot! I would gladly book another trip with the Sara J Fishing Charters and would highly recommend Captain Gary and his crews (there are 3 boats in the fleet) to anyone interested in doing some walleye, perch, or other fishing on Lake Erie!

The LoCo 'Yak Shak offers kayak lessons, kayak guided tours, and mobile kayak rentals. We have 3 American Canoe Association (ACA) Certified Coastal Kayak Instructors who have over 15 years of combined paddling experience, with the majority of their on-water time spent exploring Lake Erie's Ohio Coastline & local rivers.
LoCO 'Yak Shak is a great kayak rental, instruction and tour guide company located in downtown Lorain along the Black River with easy access to Lake Erie. They have excellent equipment and are very knowledgeable about the area. LoCoYak Shak is heavily involved in the Black River Cleanup (being the founders and organizers) that has set records and won national awards for water related cleanup efforts through their non-profit LoCo'Yaks that also provides many educational opportunities for children and adults alike. I recommend this group with no hesitation for everyone.
