Cedar Point amusement park/resort is one of the premier family vacation destinations in the world. Located on a peninsula along scenic Lake Erie, Cedar Point is a 364-acre amusement park that is home to the most exhilarating collection of thrill rides and roller coasters on Earth. With 75 diverse rides, including 17 roller coasters — more coasters than any other park in the world; a huge outdoor waterpark (Soak City); four resort hotels including a year-round indoor waterpark resort (Castaway Bay); a luxury RV campground with cottages and cabins; two large marinas; outdoor activity complex featuring a skycoaster, go-karts, miniature golf and more (Challenge Park); award-winning live shows; gift shops; delicious eateries; four giant kids’ areas and more, it's easy to see why Cedar Point has been voted the “Best Amusement Park in the World” for an unprecedented 11 years in a row!

If the thought of screaming down a 420-foot-tall hill at more than 120 mph sounds like the best thing in the world, then Cedar Point is the place for you! From the towering 420-foot-tall Top Thrill Dragster and the terrain-hugging Maverick roller coaster, all the way to the kid-friendly Jr. Gemini and Woodstock Express, Cedar Point is truly nirvana for any thrill-seeker. 

While Cedar Point is known around the globe as the leader in world-record-breaking roller coasters, its impressive collection of rides is popular with guests of all ages. Whether you like screaming when you are launched to the top of the 240-foot-tall Power Tower or kicking the sky on the swinging maXair, Cedar Point features a wide variety of rides that are sure to thrill. 

Cedar Point also has four areas that kids can call their own: Kiddy Kingdom, Camp Snoopy, Gemini Children’s Area and the new Planet Snoopy. And you never know when you might spot Charlie Brown or everyone’s favorite beagle – Snoopy!

Each fall, menacing monsters, creepy clowns and other creatures inhabit the normally docile midways of Cedar Point for the park’s annual HalloWeekends event. Spooktacular live entertainment, special areas and shows for kids, haunted houses, eerie walk-through attractions and more tombstones, spiderwebs and Halloween decorations than anywhere else all help make HalloWeekends at Cedar Point the best Halloween event around.
