It has improved since I lived there, but it used to be a very tame and boring place. We drove to amusement parks farther away that offered more.

But, the grounds at Waldameer did have a large building called Rainbow Gardens that was often used as a ballroom for special events in Erie. It's where my high school prom was. In summer, the YMCA sponsored teen dances there.

On the lake, just before the entrance to Presque Isle, there was a large motel complex called The Beachcomber. They had a New Year's Eve party there each year, with a band, 3 dance rooms, and a buffet breakfast. We went with other couples a few times.
