Here's the updated review in paragraph form:
Our family's visit to Bay Beach Amusement Park in Green Bay, Wisconsin, remains unforgettable! A few years ago, we spent a fantastic day enjoying the park's accessibility, sensory-friendly atmosphere, and thrilling rides.
The kids loved the classic Ferris wheel, roller coasters, and gentle options, while we appreciated the affordable admission (free!) and ride tickets ($1+). Food options were budget-friendly ($5-$10/meal), with gluten-free choices.
A hidden gem: the adjacent public park! We grilled and picnicked, saving money and making memories. Tips for visitors: arrive early, pack sunscreen and water, check schedules for special events, and take breaks.
The staff were incredibly supportive, accommodating our neurodivergent child's needs.
We highly recommend Bay Beach Amusement Park for its inclusivity, affordability, and fun! 5/5 stars.
Note: Operating hours vary (Memorial Day-Labor Day: 10am-9pm, spring/fall: weekends 10am-6pm, weekdays 10am-5pm, closed winters). Verify current information.
A must-visit for families, thrill-seekers, and seniors!

Read moreOverview: this is a total gem if you are a family with kids but I have seen plenty of teenagers there as well. It’s very inexpensive with only 25 cents per ticket which you can reuse if you have leftovers. Although many rides cost 2 to 4 tickets to ride but others are only 1 tickets per rider. Pros: Budget friendly Food available- hot dog sold there was very good. Fun variety of rides for all ages. Many rides for younger children ideally 2+ but are quite a few rides older kids will enjoy. Gift shop Clean bathrooms, rides, and park. Cons: Sometimes the concession stand was out of some foods but had more food to sell. Slushy tasted like tap water but otherwise a nice place to spend your day. Recommendations; 2-13 is the ideal age group but older kids can find it fun too. Get the hot dog. Mornings are the least crowded and you will see mostly families with young children. Noon is okay too. What to know: Go on the train ride first because it gets crowed later on. The train by the roller coster is most fun to go on. You can reuse tickets!!! Free admission and parking. No...
Read moreThis is a wonderful old-fashioned amusement park. Entry and parking are free, but get here early because parking fills up fast! Tickets are 25 cents per ticket, and no ride is more than 4 tickets. This place is especially fitting for smaller children, but I think it would be fun for teens and older people alike. Bring your own picnic to enjoy at the many picnic tables. You can also bring grills because they have hot coal bins available. There is a small and very reasonably priced snack concession stand offering hot dogs, cheese pizza, various sized soft drinks, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, and a few ice cream novelties. I bought a hot dog, 32oz soda, large popcorn, and a pretzel with cheese, and it came to $18.25, which I thought was a good price. Lines are longer in the afternoon, but they move quickly. Almost all the rides are accessible if you are able to walk a few steps to get onto the rides. Unfortunately, these are older rides, so not all body types will fit comfortably on/in them. There is disabled parking at the front where the big white...
