4. Bay Beach hosts an annual "Flicks on the Beach" event, showcasing popular films on a large outdoor screen during the summer.

Tips

1. Time your visit: Bay Beach Amusement Park is most popular during the summer months, especially during weekends. To avoid crowds, consider visiting on a weekday. The park also hosts special events throughout the year, so checking their events schedule in advance can enhance your visit.

2. Plan your entertainment: The Zippin Pippin roller coaster is a must-ride and one of the oldest wooden roller coasters in the US. Also try the bumper cars, Ferris wheel, and the famous train ride. Parents with small kids would appreciate the Kiddie Rides section.

3. Save money: One of the best features of Bay Beach Amusement Park is its affordability. Tickets for individual rides cost only 25 cents, and most rides only require 1-4 tickets. However, buying tickets in bulk is ideal for saving. You can save unused tickets for future visits as they do not expire. There's also no entrance fee, so you only pay for what you ride.

4. Food and dining: There are multiple concession stands throughout the park serving classic food options such as burgers, pizza, ice cream, and cotton candy. You can also pack your own picnic as the park allows outside food and has several picnic spots.

5. Plan your Itinerary: The park opens at 10 am and stays open until 9 pm. Since the park can be completely experienced in half a day, plan to arrive early to get a full day of fun. Also, visit the nearby Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary to add variety to your day. It's a sanctuary featuring live animal exhibits, educational displays, miles of hiking/skiing trails, and wildlife viewing opportunities.
