A shuttle bus is provided for guests at the park to get from the parking lots to the entrance as well as to and from certain areas such as the campground, hotel, and cabins. You can also get a ride from Cedar Point Shores, Bay Harbor, and the Marina. Once you get into the park, you can rent a stroller or wheelchair if needed. Otherwise, just wear comfy shoes and take occasional breaks on the park’s many benches or at the picnic areas, restaurants, and shows.

Most people who visit Cedar Point dress in t-shirts and shorts or jeans, depending on the weather. If you go in May or June, expect warm weather in the upper 60s and 70s with high humidity. You’ll want to pack a hat to protect your head and may even need a jacket for the evenings if you are not going in July or August. Comfortable shoes are a must and flip flops or sandals are not a good choice on many of the rides. And don’t forget a bathing suit if you are going to the water park or the beach.

Although you are not allowed to bring food and drinks into the park, you can bring in an unopened water bottle as long as it is plastic. For the other items you need to have with you that won’t fit in your pocket or purse, you can bring a bag or backpack and keep it in a locker. There is a small fee and they only accept cash or credit cards, no debit cards. You can get a standard-sized locker that holds bags up to 12x14x18, large that holds 15x18x18, or a jumbo that can hold 18x24x27.

Bring sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to protect you from sunburns. Sunglasses and a hat are also good ideas to help keep the sun at bay. Insect repellent is also important if you are going to be in the park after the sun goes down. You will also need it at the campground to repel those ticks and mosquitoes. Bring a small first-aid kit with you as well with the basics. The prices can be steep at the park for basic items like aspirin and band-aids.

There will be plenty of options for you to cook at the campsite if you stay at Lighthouse Point, the Sandusky / Bayshore KOA Holiday Campground, or one of the other campgrounds with utilities. If you don’t want to cook inside the rig, campsites often have a campfire ring. However, it is always a good idea to have a portable grill or camp stove just in case. For quick meals to eat on the go, prepare your food ahead of time and freeze them, and then just thaw them out and eat them as needed.

If you have been to every one of the park’s eating establishments and just cannot find what you are looking for, take a trip into Sandusky. Only five miles from the park, you can find several nice places to eat, including a Mexican restaurant, Italian cuisine, and a pizza place. There is also an interesting steak house with car-themed meals. You’ll also see quite a few fast-food joints in all varieties, from burgers and fries to tacos.

Cedar Point certainly has a wide variety of food and drink choices. With over 50 eateries, you're likely to find something for everyone here. If you like burgers and fries, the park has over a dozen places for that. Pizza can be found in over 10 establishments. And if you want a soft drink, you can get them at any of these places. For dessert, you can find ice cream, candy shops, fudge, and even yogurt sundaes. If you are looking for souvenirs or other fun items, there are over 30 gift shops in the park.
