The unique combination of amusement rides, pony rides, putt-putt, games, indoor and outdoor concerts, a nightclub, historic hotel, and boat tours make it the perfect weekend getaway. Ride the country's 17th oldest wooden coaster, the 1938 Blue Streak, or the world's oldest Tumble Bug. There is no gate charge for our ride area; enjoy our carousel, Devil's Den, full Kiddieland, etc. and only pay if you ride.Look for us on Facebook: Conneaut Lake Park. « less

So many amusement parks today are all about the rides: how fast, how big, how many loops and turns. However, Conneaut is a park for families who want to enjoy the rides but at a slower pace. The kiddie land is great for the smaller kids; it has boats, a small roller coaster, and pony rides to name a few.... More

Nothin' much ta see here, unless you're into amusement park history... Hardly any rides, weeds growin' up all over the place... looks like nothin's been painted in decades. Only like 2 or 3 food stands with jus' bugers n' dogs, that kinda stuff. Don't even waste your time unless you're jus' goin' ta see it. That's why we went. We... More

I love this park...it brings back such great memories, however the park is old and needs lots of work. Nice kiddieland and some fun rides for us big kids too. Not comparable to the big amusement parks of today. Nice lake and beach club with some good entertainment. Old fashioned fun day for half the price of the larger parks.... More

My dad always tells me stories about how amazing this park used to be and have always wished to see it like that. The park is in pretty bad condition thanks to the old owner who ran the park straight into the ground. However, you can see that they are trying to bring it back. The midway which was not... More

I will rate this a 5 for its memories. It has seen better times. The last time i was there, i cried not just for its poor state at the moment but for all the wonderful memories i hold of it and my hope for its future. I am fairly certain the wonderful people of this town will never let... More

We always visited this park growing up. My husband and I decided to take our 18 month old here for a visit on our way home from Erie. It is expensive for a ride pass, especially since there are very few rides here. The Tumblebug was just liked I remembered it, fast and wicked. The only complaint is that the... More

On the date of your review; March 25, the ride area is closed for the season. However, we do open Memorial Day weekend for our 120th anniversary. We still have many classic rides: the world's oldest Tumble Bug, our 1938 Blue Streak rollercoaster, Devil's Den, carousel, Tilt-a-whirl, etc. and a Kiddieland of rides and live ponies. More

This place is crumbling. It's managed by committee and is long past its prime. The rides are vintage, but ride like they're vintage. The view of the lake is nice, but most other areas show evidence of poor maintenance and decay. More
