181026 Cedar Point Wave Swinger

We want to let you in on a little secret…our family much rather head up to Cedar Point on a Friday evening than spend an entire day in the park. First, the crowds typically are not nearly as bad on a Friday as they are on a Saturday. We also rather enjoy the park at sundown and enjoy the park under the lights than in the heat of the day.

As guests get off work, they are often looking for some entertainment to fill the evening. Maybe they do not own a season pass and have the luxury of being able to come and go as they please. Cedar Point used to call their evening option Starlight tickets and were available from at least 1979.

For 2019, Cedar Fair parks are again offering the evening only admission tickets.

Here is what we are able to gather for the 2019 season.
