Cleveland Theme Parks

Dick Goddard would correct me of course, but Memorial Day is the unofficial start of the Summer in Cleveland. Shorts and tank tops have begun to show themselves on Clevelanders over the past few days and the pools and theme parks have opened their doors.

So many of the wonderful theme parks from our area have gone, but fortunately we have one the top parks right in our backyard. Cedar Point opened its gates for the 2006 season. Soak City is a great place to cool off with fun play areas for the kids, and quiet lounge areas for the adults. Raft rides, parasailing, and jet skis offer additional fun for even the most adventurous. Of course, Cedar Point also offers 68 rides which includes a record 16 roller coasters!

Geauga Lake just opened their brand new six acre expansion to Wildwater Kingdom. Tidal Wave Bay is the new 30,000 square foot wave pool! They also have these fantastic new VIP cabanas that you may reserve for your family. Each cabana includes a dining table and chairs, locker, lounge chairs, wave pool tubes, and table side food and beverage service. This is a really nice option and much better than most picnic locations.

Don't forget Erieview Park. Take a drive with the family to visit this small, old-fashioned amusement park and waterpark in Geneva-on-the-Lake.

What's your favorite theme park?
