- Danielle FEaston, Missouri64 contributionsWe visited with our family of 6 (mom and dad, 14, 11, 9, 9). We were there for 5 hours and only spent $50. Most touristy attractions cost us over $100 and we spend half the time. Great value. My kids loved the rides. The waits weren’t bad. The Zippin Pippen is our favorite 😂😂. My only “complaint” would be two of the rides were shut down with no reason given and it wasn’t posted on Facebook (which it says it will be). Not a huge deal and there was still plenty to do.Visited August 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 8, 2024
- Adrianna LTraverse City, Michigan135 contributionsBay Beach Amusement Park is one of my favorite attractions in Green Bay. It has a variety of rides, all at affordable prices. It's a wonderful place to destress and enjoy a lovely atmosphere on the waterfront. There are concession stands, picnic areas, a gift shop, and just enough rides to keep children and adults happy. My only regret is not staying longer. What a treasure this amusement park is! Highly recommended!Visited June 2024Traveled soloWritten June 30, 2024
- Cindy A6 contributionsBay Beach in Green Bay is an absolutely wonderful place for a family day trip. Very clean and family oriented place. All the rides are well maintained. Lots of places to enjoy a picnic and rest after a full day of rides. Very affordable.Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 24, 2024

This is truly a fun, retro, family-oriented park. Free admission & parking, tickets only cost 25 cents (yes, you read that right, 25 cents!) and no ride costs more than 4 tickets so you can ride the biggest roller coaster they have for $1 - you can't find that anywhere else! Situated right next to the bay, the views are also a huge plus. I visited on a Friday and the crowd was a decent size but the lines moved pretty quick - I don't think I waited longer than 20 minutes for anything. Overall, the park was clean & all the staff I interacted with were friendly and welcoming. My wife and I spent all afternoon from about 12 noon to 5:30 and never once felt like we had "done it all" even though we had completed what we wanted. This is such a gem with a combination of something for everyone.

After visiting the National Railroad Museum and eating lunch, my wife and I visited Bay Beach in the afternoon on a very beautiful day. Thanks in part to the weather, it was crowded though not insanely crowded as some amusement parks get. Tickets were cheap and since it’s a pay as you go park you are free to roam even if you don’t ride anything. We rode the East End train first then the large Ferris wheel and then the famous Zippin Pippin roller coaster. While the lines for the Pippin were long they didn’t take too long. A nice thrilling roller coaster that’s a good step up ride between the kiddie coasters and the larger ones. Despite the higher winds the Ferris wheel is quite sturdy and we felt comfortable throughout the ride. The gift shop prices are cheap for an amusement park along with the concessions.

We visited for the first time with a small family group over the Summer holidays and had an absolute blast; never have we had so much fun for so little money.
The rides were amazing, the kids loved and rode everything they were able to based on their heights (ages 3 - 10). The wooden rollercoaster is a little rough, but it was the kids favorite nonetheless.
The park was packed but the wait in lines was never more than about 15 minutes, and each of the rides is not rushed with good bang for your buck. Add to that the fact that you can bring your own food/drinks so you don't have to purchase from the park vendors and this is a place we will visit many times in the months/years to come.

After watching a YouTube video on the rollercoaster Zippin Pippen at Bay Beach we decided to make the long trek up to Green Bay. The park itself is very small but is situated right on the water which makes it very scenic. It is run by the parks and rec dept of Green Bay and has free parking and free admission. Rides are different ticket amounts and tickets are currently .25 each. The rollercoaster is only 4 tickets (so $1 per ride)
We rode 4 times and enjoyed every ride. There is a small airtime hill right at the end that has a ridiculous ejector airtime moment that completely hits you by surprise.
Overall, a nice little local park with about a dozen rides and very scenic.

Green Bay is a pretty impressive city and although everyone knows that "Lambeau Field" home to the Green Bay Packers is the #1 attraction in Green Bay, there are other things to love like "Bay Beach Amusement Park." My first impression was "Wow, this is terrific." What a delightful amusement park, with lots of space and some great rides. I don't think there's another amusement park in America with such affordable rides. Yes, Bay Beach Amusement Park is small but it's quite big on entertainment and definitely worth spending time at if you live in Green Bay or are visiting. I was impressed and didn't want to leave. It felt good to feel like a kid again. The most popular ride is "Zippin Pippin" a rollercoaster. It was supposedly Elvis Presley's favorite ride. Bay Beach Amusement Park is a must do attraction when in Green Bay. It's wonderful! A short walk away is the adjacent Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary.

This place was amazing. My kids are 2, 7 & 9. Double check their site, but im pretty sure over 48" can do all the rides. My big kids are just over 4 feet & could do them all. There was a big roller coaster (doesn't go upside down) but there were also quite a few rides only little ones could go on. The down side was my big kids were too tall to go on them with my little one and he was scared to get on most alone. I'd say closer to age 3 would be better for those. But it was nice to have a mix of rides so a whole family could be happy. How do you beat the price?! It was amazing. No ride cost more than $1 & most were only a quarter or 50 cents. We got 104 tickets (a quarter each) and got to get all 5 of us a treat at the concessions stand, and spent a solid 4 hours doing rides for $37. How wonderful to never have to say no. Plus the view of the bay is great & right there. We went on a Tuesday around noon and very rarely had to stand in line. Just one turn of the ride was the longest we waited for any. I saw teenagers just there having fun too, so I think it is good for all ages.

Classic Carnival rides that don't cost more than $.50 or $1.00 to ride. Very nice playground area with many picnic tables and shelters to spend the entire day. I hope the fill in the Roller Coaster area with more rides. The atmosphere on the original side of the park with the rides being close together really is amazing.

Caleb The Worst Employee at Bay Beach

An unprofessional employee taking my family of 4 off the ride after he (Caleb) took tickets and let us sit down. He smelled of weed also, gross. My 3 year old was crying because he wanted to sit down and start the ride. This crappy employee then came over and told my wife, and 3 kids to get off the ride. For no real reason, he said if we had a problem to talk to a manager and then he escorted us off the ride. My son was BALLING he was crying so hard. This was the worst service we have ever had and he completely ruined our day. CALEB WE HATE YOU!

Stopped here with the family while traveling through WI. What a great time. Most rides are a dollar or less. We bought $20 worth of tickets for the four of us and were able to get almost four hours of fun out of it. Has attractions for a variety of age groups. I think the family unanimously agreed the Zippin Pippin roller coaster was the favorite. Does have some food options that were a little pricey, but you can bring your own. There are picnic areas around the park. Located right on the water so it can get a little chilly.

This was our second trip to Bay Beach/Green Bay. We accidentally discovered this place on our last trip to Wisconsin and made a point to go back this time! Tickets are 25 cents and some small rides only cost one ticket! Our 2, 4, and 6 year olds loved it! We barely had to wait long despite being there in the summer. The whole family enjoyed the Big Wheel together, too! We have some leftover tickets since we closed it down at 7pm and will be happy to go back again on another trip!

I believe they are open weekends in September from about 10-3 and then closed until next spring.
Written August 31, 2022
The season typically every year opens in May on weekends only then during the week. Tickets are still 25 cents w piece and the Zippin Pippin is 1.00. This year the park added three rides. It's a gem in Green Bay that families can afford.

I believe Bay Beach is closed after Labor Day.

No admission or parking fees. Tickets are 25 cents apiece and each ride costs one to 4 ticket each. The most expensive ride is the Zippin Pippin roller coaster which costs 4-25 cent tickets ($1.00). We bought $40 worth of tickets for five people and ended up giving some away because we ran out of time. We went on as many rides, as many times as we liked!

Usually opens from May to Sept.

If it rains hard, rides are stopped but there is plenty of other playground equipment for kids. Plus the wildlife duck sanctuary is right across the street, which is fantastic place to visit.
