Overview
Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial was established to honor those who fought in the Battle of Lake Erie, during the War of 1812, and to celebrate the long-lasting peace among Great Britain, Canada and the U.S. The Memorial, a Doric column, rising 352 feet over Lake Erie is situated 5 miles from the longest undefended border in the world.
Summer months can be extremely hot and humid, with occasional and sudden severe thunderstorms. Fall and spring are pleasant with cool temperatures but brisk winds can make a 60° day feel much colder. In winter the memorial and visitor center are closed.
The Observation Deck will be inaccessible for 2026 and 2027 seasons. A ticket is required to visit the observation deck at the top of the Memorial. Tickets are sold daily in the visitor center from 10 am to 5:45 pm in 15-minute time slots and can sell out as early as 2 pm on the weekend. Children 15 and under are free and must be accompanied by an adult. An annual pass that covers the pass holder and three adults is available for $35.00. America the Beautiful Passes are also accepted.
