Absolute gem of Wisconsin. Prices unbeatable. Rides are classic fun. Staff great. Safe. In a day where every amusement event (including fairs) bleeds you dry from entry fees, fast passes, food, drink and souvenirs...this place is gives you hope that this city still cares about the word "Family" in entertainment. .25 cents a ticket...no individual ride over 6 tickets (think there is 4 maybe out of all the rides). Parents aren't unhappy shelling out wads of cash so the vibe is good. No second looks at people wondering "where'd they come from"...or "let's go over here guys". We go several times a summer just to ride a couple rides and pop out to finish the days errands. So if you want to see why everyone is moving up above Manitowoc...spend a couple hours here. Place is great! read more

It's a good park, but it has seen better days. The park is under-staffed. Each day, a handful of rides are not in operation because the parks department failed to recruit staff. For example, the park has opened a new train this year, but that means the old train line is not running. The new train line is far less scenic, but because it's new they staff it. Parking is generally free, but the park has recently designated prime-parking spaces near the pavilion building as paid parking spaces. To use the paid-parking spaces, they want you to download an app. Consequently, these prime parking spaces are left empty through the day, except for the one car I saw parked illegally there which received a ticket. The park is clean and the staff is usually nice. Tickets for rides are inexpensive, and concessions are inexpensive. Expect prices for tickets to increase in the near future. Also expect the number of tickets required per ride to increase. This amusement park has had a good run, but the parks department management is doing all they can to kill the park. read more

We went for a family day and it was so nice out. Location was clean and staff friendly. Several rides for every age. Stroller friendly. You can purchase tickets at booths. Prices .25 cents per ticket. It provides you a list of tickets for each ride. Things to know: Not all rides were operating. Free parking. Restrooms at main entrance (white building) and addtional restroom next to playground. Outside food allowed. Concession stand with several items to choose from. No fee to come into park. Several people walking and jogging. Amazing view of the Bay from the Ferris wheel. Looking forward to returning again. read more

Bay Beach is an absolute gem to the Green Bay community and surrounding area. I visited here as a child, have taken my own children and will eventually bring grandchildren to. What's not to like about a no admission fee, family friendly amusement park. I'm the age of getting raked over the coals, Bay Beach has maintained very reasonable concession prices and the most you pay to go on any single ride is $1.50. The overall theme of the park is geared toward families with younger kids, but there really is something here for everyone. Bay Beach is an absolute must see in the Green Bay Area. read more

Bay Beach Amusement Park - Zippin Pippin - Amusement Parks Near Me - Green Bay, Wisconsin

If there's one thing Bay Beach has to be known for, it's the value. No parking fee, no admission fee. Most little kid rides are only $.25 each, and while they only have one roller coaster it costs just $1.50 to ride. I don't think anywhere in the country can beat that? Especially in today's world of insane inflation? We even brought our own lunches since they have a bunch of picnic tables in the park and by the parking lots. Are the rides, like, revolutionary? No, they're classics you've probably seen at your state fair or *insert random summer holiday*-fest. But it's like...a quarter each! Our crew of young kids had a blast and it basically felt like being at an all-you-can-ride park anyway. There are lines which should be expected, but at least the longest wait for a ride (the train ride) has a covered queue to protect from the sun. They have some bigger thrill rides for older kids and kids at heart, but now that I'm over 40 I was basically done after my first ride on the Tilt-A-Whirl. That's not a knock against the park, but man spinning at high speeds hits differently in middle age. It hits hard. I don't know much about what else Green Bay offers besides the obvious (some football team), but if you're in the area with family you owe to them to spend a day here. read more

I took the wife and kids in a weekend trip to Green Bay. I knew the Bay Beach amusement park would only be open for a few more weekends in September before it closes for the season. Be sure to check their website for dates and times their open. We have never been so this was our first time and we had a blast! Free parking! Free admission to get in the park! I couldn't believe it 25 cents a ticket! And most rides are 2 to 4 tickets. I think the big wooden roller coaster called the Zippin Pippin was the most expensive which was only 6 tickets. The park is super clean! The food was ok but it's fried carnival food so my expectations weren't high. lol But you can bring in your own food so that's cool! And again super clean and the staff super friendly and helpful! We all had a great time. read more

We love Bay Beach! The rides range from .25 to $1.50. An affordable and fun way to entertain the family for a day. They have food and drinks and a gift shop as well. The food is affordable and the staff is friendly. There is a wonderful view of the Green Bay from the top of the Ferris wheel. We went on the historic roller coaster, the Zippin Pippin, four times. Any day at Bay Beach is a great day ! read more

Looking for an awesome day at the park well you've totally found the right spot as this park straight up has something for everyone of all ages! Coming here was for one thing for me and one thing alone that awesome wooden coaster known as Zippin Pippin which was Coaster Credit # 248 for me and what a good one it was as there's tons of airtime on this awesome ride as well as an amazing airtime moment that at the end that the coaster community has labeled the ejector death hill as it launches you soooo crazy especially in the back row making for an amazing ride right tell the end! Besides that amazing wooden roller coaster they have a good amount of family rides and attractions that are scattered across the park but this isn't your typical amusement park it's a mix of a regular city park with rides and a wooden coaster which definitely makes it unique amongst the parks I've visited over the years! This park was totally awesome in many ways and I can tell the locals like it too as it gets quite busy just as it opens and lines can get long so plan accordingly. So parking and admission to the park is free but each ride requires tickets and each ticket is 25¢ which is definitely on the cheaper side as Zippin Pippin was only 4 tickets making for $1 each ride not a bad deal when it comes to going to the park! Overall this was a great adventure to ride a super fun and unique coaster it's with that who knows if I'll ever make it out here again but it's definitely not out of the question as I really enjoyed my time here! read more

What a gem! We were on our first real family vacation since the pandemic began and found the Bay Beach Amusement Park on a few of the "best spots" lists. This certainly did not disappoint. First off, unlike the "major" parks, this one doesn't have an exorbitant entrance fee, which is wonderful for families. The Zippin Pippin coaster is a fun ride, and I got two shots at it since it wasn't especially busy that day. My "coaster buddy" (our eldest) also gave it high marks. All in all, there's something for everybody at the Bay Beach. Beautiful location and the price is right. read more

Bay Beach Amusement Park - Amusement Parks Near Me - Green Bay, Wisconsin

I came here with my fiance and my son (6 years old) while we were on vaction in Green Bay. We had always heard great things about this park so we decided to check it out. Like all amusment parks, rides cost tickets so we got tickets as soon as we entered. The tickets were really cheap! The concession stands do not serve alcohol (which is fine for me) and I was expecting to pay an arm and a leg but even those prices are reasonable. My son went on almost every ride there and had a blast. We spent about 3 or 4 hours there before heading out to go get dinner. My son wanted to go back the next day before we left to go home that day and we did. He had just as much fun as he had the day before. We were there for another 3 or 4 hours and he was running around so much he took a nap in the car on the way home. We are definitely going to be back! read more

I like coming to Bay Beach ever so often. It's a nice place you can either walk along the water or come enjoy some rides. The rides are fun, and seem safe. The food is great as well as their food court. Some summers I like to come and just eat in the food court, and go on a small walk by the water! The parking is not horrible, and there's plenty of parking spaces and parking lots as well. The price for tickets are pretty good, for only 25 cents per ticket! But, some rides costed up to 6 tickets each. The vibe there is great and the view on the water is amazing. Overall I recommend going here, I had a great experience and I think you will too! read more

My first time here, staff were nice and helpful! Restrooms were nice but a little muggy. The lines were short other than the Zippin Pippin, but it moves quickly and smoothly. All rides were fun! Definitely going again! read more

Took my nephew who was 4 and he had so much fun. Social distancing was in full effect. After each ride the employees would wipe down the ride and then allow the next set of kids to ride. The park was not crowded for a Thursday afternoon. Hey read more

I had been trying to get to Bay Beach for a couple of years. A couple of unsuccessful tries lead to this successful attempt at a visit. We had a wonderful time. The park was well maintained and so reasonable in the price department. There is no fee to park and the rides all take tickets that were 25 cents each. Yes 25 cents, yea I couldn't believe it either. In the era of giant amusement parks with giant prices, Bay Beach is a throwback. A throwback to the time were common folk could have a good time and not break the bank. You wont break the bank. At least I didnt. There are many rides for people of just about all ages. There are multiple picnic areas and slides and swings for the kids to have fun on. The food was not the greatest but it was affordable. Next time that I go i'd love to stay longer and explore more. However the time that we were there was great, I dont have any complaints. read more

Bay Beach Amusement Park - Amusement Parks Near Me - Green Bay, Wisconsin

So thrilled we finally decided to go...I'm from Milwaukee and yet had never visited this wonderful Green Bay attraction. Perfect fun for my 8/5/3 year olds. Love that you drive up, park, and walk in all without paying any admission. The ride tickets are 25 cents and rides cost 1-4 tickets each. Including lunch and an ice cream treat plus plenty of rides for all, our family of 5 enjoyed a beautiful afternoon overlooking the bay for less than $50. read more

Great for the little ones and have a good time very affordable! Its our second time coming from Dallas Texas

Best place to take the little ones for a day of fun! It's affordable and they loved it! We spent $20 with 6 people and it lasted 5 hours. Rode both trains, big Ferris wheel, bumper cars, merry go round and lots of the small kids rides. Will be an annual trip until they outgrow it, which is guess might be around the 7-8yr old range, maybe older? read more

Best family spot for the families w young kids. Excellent location and you don't need a Visa gold card. Rides are 25cents. Some. Are 59 cents. Bumper cars and roller coaster just a buck! Thank you Green Bay parks and rec for affordable family fun. Tons of picnic spots read more

It's ok normally very overcrowded and the rides are old and often break down. The new rides are just boring. Very fun on non crowded days

Great Fun!!! When I originally moved here about 25 years ago, I was astonished to see a community-owned amusement park, replete with roller coasters, kiddie rides, and all the trappings of a classic Midwest carnival! Only this one never packs up and leaves! On the occasion of my grandson's visits I'll drag them along to Bay Beach! The rides are great, the hot-dogs and pretzels are scrumptious, and the rides are even better; listening to their excited, screaming voices as they rumble past can't be beat! Of course, there is also a small (18" gauge) railroad to ride, pop-corn to be scarfed, and plenty of giggles and laughs to share. What I found amazing was/is that this facility is 100% owned by the city of GRB and paid for with our tax dollars! Frivolous, you say? Only until you hear the screams and laughter of the Littles! Life is good, up here in da Nort Woods! Come and visit, and bring your brood with ya. Y'all will have a blast! Yee Ha! $0.25 a ride for the slower rides, and maybe a buck or two for the "Premium" rides! read more

This is probably one of my favorite amusement parks and has great food even made freinds with a seagull, lines took forever

INCREDIBLE day here on our visit to Green Bay! We spent ten bucks to play for hours with our kids. Great amusement park for all ages!! There's something for everyone and it's laid out very well. read more

Bay Beach Amusement Park - Amusement Parks Near Me - Green Bay, Wisconsin

I've been coming to this amusement park for over 35 years. Constructed over 125 years ago, a trip to Green Bay isn't complete without taking the kiddos to this staple of the area. Although many of the rides I enjoyed as a kid are still here, they continue to get bigger and better rides each year, all at a ridiculously affordable price. For instance if you go to a local fair the tilt a whirl would be at least $5.00, but at Bay Beach it's only 50 cents a ride. All rides are between 25 cents and $1. Fun for all ages. They have a food pavilion with somewhat mediocre food. (Although the freshly spun cotton candy is a must) Lots of picnic tables available if you want to cookout or bring a picnic, but watch out for those pesky seagulls, as they're everywhere! Parking is free. The only downfall is they start closing down many of the rides at 8:30 when they are open til 9. I mean if you are open til 9, I think 8:30 is too soon to close rides. read more

Bay Beach Amusement Park - Zippin pippin. Watch out for the whiplash at the end. - Amusement Parks Near Me - Green Bay, Wisconsin

This is a great, affordable, fun amusement park. We'll go back next time we're in the area. Almost all the rides are 2-4 tickets, and every ticket costs .25 cents. We went on a weekday and the lines were not long. Easy parking, they have bathrooms and snacks, they only inconvenient was that several of the rides closed before we got to them. read more

Good for young and old, Bay Beach Amusement Park is a great spot for all. Free admission and rides start at 25 cents. Yes, you read that right. The park also has some very unique features. The Zippin Pippin is one of the oldest existing wooden roller coasters in the United States. Thinking wood and also standing next to it while the ride is going, you hear the difference from a steel roller coaster. If you like roller coasters, you must try this special one, right here in Green Bay. A new ride for 2019 is the 100 foot Ferris wheel with one of the gondolas wheelchair accessible. You can't find any other Ferris wheel in northern Wisconsin with this gondola. I was going to try it today, but the line was long. (I went in the afternoon.) It will be on my list for my next visit. Picnic or pick up some delicious foods at their various concession stands. Prices for food are reasonable as well. Did I mention this is situated on the bay of Green Bay? What a view as well. And they keep expanding adding more. One thing I think they could make more money at is if they had a few games (carnival style). Other than that, this is a great spot to visit young and old alike. read more

Used to love bay beach as a kid but not so much anymore it's gotten kinda boring. My favorite ride there is the big swings ,zippin pippin and scrambler still love those rides. Otherwise there is not much wow factor to it. However it is very affordable 25 cents per ticket which is nice :) read more

Bay Beach makes me so nostalgic, I want to cry (shout out to anyone who remembers the green tickets!). Probably because I was the only one of my friends NOT to work there over the summers in high school and clean up after little kids who ate too much cotton candy. I have since relocated to Milwaukee and I try to make it up to Bay Beach whenever I'm in GB. It's not an amusement park in the same way that Six Flags is an amusement park. Bay Beach is more geared towards the younger crowd (not to say there aren't a bunch of kids at Six Flags, but there are also more adults). The last couple times I've gone, I've been in the tiny minority of people there without kids (or who aren't kids themselves). This is fine, honestly. Just prepare yourself for the abundant youths. Let's talk about rides. Zippin Pippin. The roller coaster is super rad. I have a disdain for wooden roller coasters, but this one is a blast. It costs a dollar to ride. At a state fair, a comparable ride would cost at least $5 and it probably wouldn't be as cool, and it definitely wouldn't be a replication of Elvis's FAVORITE roller coaster. Bumper cars, Scrambler, and Tilt A Whirl all typically have lines that take a bit. They're worth it though. Scat and Yo-Yo (or the swings, as we call them) have less of a weight. Neither are good if you get motion sickness. I loved the helicopters as a kid, was terrified of the ferris wheel (which is tiny now that I'm an adult), and had a favorite horse on the merry-go-round. tl;dr If you're in town while Bay Beach is open, go. read more

No admission fee, and the most expensive ride costs a dollar!? Is this real life!? I went to Bay Beach occasionally as a child, and I never realized what a deal it is until now! Tickets are currently 25 cents each, and rides cost between 1 and 4 tickets. Food is decently priced too. The Zippin Pippin (aka Elvis' favorite roller coaster) is fantastic. All the other rides are great too! My personal favorites include the slide and the Scat. My extended family and I went on a sunny weekend day, and it took a maximum of 20 minutes to get on a ride. It may be small (with a comparatively less frightening roller coaster), but its lines and prices can't be beat by Six Flags! This place is especially great for small children. read more

We brought the kids here when we were in town for Memorial Day. The place was PACKED, but it was to expected for a holiday weekend on a day that the weather was beautiful and there's no admission fees. Tickets are 25 cents each. We spent $5 and got to experience a few things - my son and husband rode a couple rides together, my daughter went on the Yo Yo alone, both my son and daughter rode the big slide together and my daughter and I went on the roller coaster (which was the highest "price" ride -- admission was 4 tickets, or a whole $1.00) We also treated the kids to a couple cotton candies and a large soda -- $2.00 each for the cotton candy and $1.50 for the soda. Sooo affordable for a family! I wish we had something like this near us!!! I'd love to go to Green Bay again just to visit here again. The kids enjoyed it and it didn't break the bank. Yes, the rides are like carnival rides (with the exception of the roller coaster), but here if we were to go to a carnival it would have easily cost us $40 to ride the rides that we did, and probably another $15 for the cotton candy and drink. Really -- way to go! This is just exceptional. read more

Really a hidden gem of Wisconsin! Coming back to Wisconsin from Seattle, we are used to paying outrageous prices for parking, entrance fees, and ride tickets. This was a wonderful surprise - FREE parking, FREE entrance and cheap ride tickets! The setting is beautiful and we enjoyed a walk along the water. Pure Wisconsin! People were friendly and clearly, families were having fun. It was a bit hot in the sun and seating was a bit limited but it was a beautiful day and a lot of people enjoy this park. It was very neat, clean and maintained. If you are in the Green Bay area, this is a great spot to stop and take in the beauty of the Green Bay. read more

You pretty much have to have a heart like the Grinch to not love this place. Location is beautiful. Right on Green Bay - check out the wildlife floating/standing in the water. We even saw a rare (for these parts) white pelican the other day. There is also a wildlife preserve adjacent to the amusement park. There is enough shade to catch some relief on a hot day and the breeze coming in off of the water is always nice. Grounds are well maintained. It is always clean. This is especially important in regards to the bathrooms. Nobody likes an icky restroom, right! Always nice and clean at Bay Beach. Not much litter to speak of. They keep the whole place spiffy. Prices are insane. $0.25 a ticket!? That is insane. The biggest ride (which is a pretty decent wooden coaster is only 4 tickets to ride)! It is very rare to find a place that won't break the bank. Our local community festival charges a lot more for rides that look like they haven't been maintained properly in 20 years. Parking has never been an issue. Sure, you might have to walk a little bit - but not awful. Food is reasonably priced. Nothing great - but hey - it's an amusement park. French fries, hot dogs, funnel cakes. What else do you want? Plenty of places to sit and relax and eat a picnic lunch if you chose to bring one. Even when it is busy - it never feels busy. The lines never seem out of control long. If you have little ones - you can get them on some of the smaller rides without much of a wait at all. It might not be a "high octane" experience like Six Flags - but they have a nice assortment of classic amusement park rides (all with info signs telling you where they came from - which I think is interesting). The coaster - the Zippin' Pippin' - came all the way from Memphis where it was a favorite of Elvis and it's a fun ride. Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, several trains, bumper cars, tilt-a-whirl, and more. It really just does feel like a rare throwback to a day where giving real value was still important. You can feel the civic pride. I've never left feeling unhappy. Highly recommended. read more

I haven't been to Bay Beach since my kid were little, we went recently with a friend and her young children. The price of tickets has more than doubled since back in the day but still are quite reasonable. There are also more rides and the rides are spaced out better. The reasons for two stars are because it is kind of dirty and several rides we're closed. Maybe they didn't have enough people to operate rides but it was disappointing for the littles but not a huge deal. The cleanliness is a big deal, the bathrooms are absolutely disgusting, empty soap dispensers and only cold water with no pressure. Every bench and picnic table was dirty and sticky so there was no place to sit while waiting for people on rides. The city of Green Bay needs to do a better job keeping the park clean so it is a more enjoyable experience. They should also invest in some sort of security to help maintain a better atmosphere, I don't really need or want to see teenagers fighting, be subjected to smoking (especially in a place that is posted non-smoking) etc., read more

I'm a big fan of the rides, but unfortunately much of the park was dirty and not as well kept as I would have liked, particularly the older buildings. I had a particularly bad experience at the park that I'm not too happy about as well. I was trying to find the pavilion that my company had rented out for our picnic and several staff members either didn't know where it was or were completely rude about finding it. One of them straight up ignored my question and walked away. I traipsed around for about a half an hour before I was able to find it since there was no clear signage of where it was. Not impressed. read more

Love the rides are cheap. Even now my daughter is bigger we can go spend $20 and she can ride lots of rides

Really, what's there not to love!! We started with the classic Ferris Wheel, never gets old!! The view from the top is great, not just from this ride, but many! On to the Brand new Zippin Pippen. Excellent wooden roller coaster!! We rode it 5 times from all parts of the train & at the equivalent of $1.00/ride, you more than get your $$ worth. Many other rides filled our Monday evening along with some great "fair" food from the old pavilion. This place is a gem! It holds some truly great childhood memories and now that I can take my nephews and son, they will start their own fab memories!!! We'll for sure be back there soon. @ $.25/ ticket, why wouldn't you go here!!! read more
