Visitors of all ages agree that Bay Beach offers good, cheap fun. The old-fashioned amusement park features a handful of rides  that run just a quarter or two. That’s right, a few bits to whirl around on the Ferris Wheel, Tilt-A-Whirl, Scrambler, toy boats or kiddie helicopters.

Guests also love the small train chugging around the bayfront park grounds, plus bumper cars, a big slide ride, pony rides and even the Zippin Pippin roller coaster. The park offers concessions and a spacious pavilion for dances and other special events. You’ll find lots of spots for picnicking, and just across the road, the free Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary. So pack a picnic lunch, grab a five-dollar bill and prepare for a day of fun.
