Are you ready to think of warmer weather fun? If you have preschool kids and love amusement parks, you don’t want to miss this amazing deal!
Sign your preschoolers up for a Free Pre-K Pass at Cedar Point for kids ages 3-5 and introduce them to all of the fun that Cedar Point and Cedar Point Shores Water Park have to offer.
The Free Pre-K pass is good for unlimited visits for the 2025 season at Cedar Point and Cedar Point Shores.
To qualify, a parent must now purchase a Gold or Prestige pass first. They can then register their child for the free Pre-K pass. There is a limit of 2 Pre-K passes per valid Gold or Prestige.
While this obviously makes it less of a deal for families than it used to be, if a season pass is something you’re considering, this may still be a deal for you.
Cedar Point Free Pre-K pass for ages 3-5
Register preschool children online, and activate the pass at the Cedar Point Season Pass Center at Cedar Point by August 1, 2025. Children must be present and proof of age (original or copy of birth certificate or travel passport) will be required.
Kids must be between ages 3-5 at the time of activation at the park, so plan your initial visit accordingly. If your 5 year old has a summer birthday, make sure you activate the pass at the park before they turn 6!
Note: you MUST register online for the Pre-K pass in advance of your visit to the park. You cannot register or renew for the Pre-K pass at the park.
The Free Pre-K Pass at Cedar Point includes admission to Cedar Point Shores as well as admittance to Early Entry to both Cedar Point and Cedar Point Shores.

Season Tickets for family
Daily passes used to be able to be used along with the Pre-K pass. Now a season pass for a parent must be purchased before you can apply for the Pre-K pass.
If you plan to go often, make sure to buy season passes for the rest of the family! It’s the best way to save money on visits for the rest of the family. If you only expect to go once or twice, buying passes at the gate may be the most cost effective. Otherwise, you’re probably better off just buying one day admission to enjoy the park (make sure to do a search for deals!)
