Attractions

You'll want to put the following places on your Cedar Point "to do" list -- they're what make the park especially unique.

Cedar Point Boardwalk

It's like being a million miles away! Stretching around the northern perimeter of the Cedar Point Peninsula , this scenic boardwalk winds past the sprawling Hotel Breakers; the Cedar Point Beach and the majestic waters of Lake Erie; Soak City water park; Sandcastle Suites Hotel; and the Lighthouse Point camping complex. This is a "don't miss" place for a leisurely stroll or just to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Cedar Point midways. You'll wonder if you're really at an amusement park!

Cedar Point Ballroom

Take one step in the 1906 Coliseum at Cedar Point -- boasting an enormous ballroom on the top level -- and you'll feel like you're in the middle of the golden age of ballroom dancing and Big Bands. Located just off the Main Midway, the Cedar Point Ballroom is available for guests to take a quick peek inside and feel the spirit of this beloved park landmark. In the 1930s, the ballroom saved Cedar Point from folding (as many parks did during this era) during the Great Depression with nightly performances by Big Bands such as Woody Herman, Guy Lombardo, Benny Goodman and Blue Barron. Today, it stands with a quiet grace and splendor as one of only a few remaining amusement park ballrooms.

Town Hall Museum

A museum at an amusement park? When you meander into Cedar Point's Town Hall Museum, located in Frontiertown, you may think a time machine took a wrong turn. Not to fear: you've just stumbled upon the 135-year history of the second oldest amusement park in the country! With a rich and storied heritage dating back to 1870, Cedar Point proudly showcases such artifacts as treasured postcards, photographs, plaques and memorabilia that reflect the tradition and character of the historic park.

Cedar Point Beach

This is where it all began for Cedar Point! In 1870, a small bathhouse, beer garden, swings and slides were the big attractions along this glorious section of white sand beach. With Lake Erie and boaters serving as its soothing background, the Cedar Point Beach is still a piece of paradise, as sunbathers soak up the rays, sports enthusiasts join in friendly games of volleyball or Frisbee, families create masterpieces in the sand and splash into the waters of one of the Great Lakes. Parasailing, jet skiing and kayaking also provide action galore! It's a testament to the chronicles of this beach that Knute Rockne, famed University of Notre Dame football player and coach, worked on the Cedar Point Beach as a lifeguard in 1913, where he perfected the forward pass!

Hotel Breakers Rotunda

Located in the 1905 Hotel Breakers, the grand rotunda -- just off the main lobby -- is a hallmark of the early resort era of Cedar Point. This magnificent airy five-story rotunda displays hardwood floors, wicker furniture, urns and historical photographs of the amusement park/resort. It is here where Metropolitan Opera stars performed and boxing matches took place in the early 1900s, as guests crowded the five levels above to witness the finest in entertainment. Today in the rotunda, it isn't unusual to find guests reading a book, playing a game of checkers, chatting about their day or listening to the piano music as it filters in from the main lobby. You'll soon realize why the Hotel Breakers was the reason Cedar Point was once touted, "The Queen of American Watering Places."

Frontier Trail

A trip down the Frontier Trail ranks as a popular pastime for senior citizens visiting Cedar Point. Craftspeople create everything from glass-blown items to leather goods and wooden plaques to baskets—and best of all, guests are encouraged to watch the pioneers in action. Various shops dot the peaceful trail where unusual gift items and crafty wares can be found. Benches line the Frontier Trail, inviting seniors to rest in the shade and people-watch.

Something for Everyone!

The amusement park/resort has 75 rides, more than anywhere else in the world. With such a large selection, there are rides suited for guests of all ages. Daring seniors brave the park's collection of 17 roller coasters, the largest on earth. For milder ride experiences, the biggest group of operating antique carousels in the world takes older visitors on a nostalgic whirl. The Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad and Paddlewheel Excursions offer restful trips through lands of animation, while the Space Spiral offers a spectacular view of Cedar Point and Lake Erie during a narrated journey. Other favorite rides for older guests include the Giant Wheel, the Turnpike Cars and the Sky Ride.

For show-stopping entertainment, seniors are dazzled by the sights and sounds of everything from the biggest hits of the superstars, to great rock classics and even some tunes in a saloon. Colorful costumes and elaborate stage sets add to the entertainment of each musical production. Each high-energy cast is accompanied on stage by a live band or music, making each revue a little different in an amusing way!
