NEW to Cedar Point Halloweekends? DON'T GO Without These 13 Tips (Beginner's Guide 2025)

There’s no better way to celebrate Halloween than to have a day at Cedar Point. Whether with a loved one, friends or on a solo trip, HalloWeekends at Cedar Point is so much fun.

Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio is a theme park lover’s dream. Primarily known as the roller coaster capital of the world, it is a 364-acre collection of thrilling entertainment and excitement for every age.

Halloweekends for The Family

If you’re not into being scared, then you’ll love the other options available to you and your whole family at Halloweekends. You can enjoy things such as the:

*Magical House on Boo Hill
*A foam pit
*Spooky selfie stations
*Food Festival
*Costume contest
*Trick or treating

How Scary is HalloWeekends?

Depends on how easily scared you can get. This annual event features Cedar Point’s world-class rides, roller coasters and sinister haunted attractions.

Throughout HalloWeekends, you’ll be able to enjoy Cedar Point’s interpretation of the frightening holiday through their haunted mazes and scare zones.

One of the things I really like about HalloWeekends is that it has ghostly shows for all ages, but it isn’t “too” scary. Even the youngest and most sensitive of beings will enjoy the fall offerings at this event.

I’m on my way right now for my first time at halloweekends I’m scared 🤣

I went this last Halloween weekend Thurs October 20th. Your so right about how the park is. decorated. It is beyond words to describe. The Mazes were will designed and decorated. The Haunted Houses also were awesomely decorated and planed
BUT
The actors really did not do ther jobs. They took my ratinng down to 1 if that. At the entrances of the Mazes and horses you would find more of the actors then in side. Example: Cornstock2 the entrance was surround by many oof the actors BUT one into the maze there was only 1 that's right 1 scaarer. T may
ze was awsome but scare factor was 0. This was the results with the rest.
Another big down fall was over 80% of the food stands and dinning where completely closed refre

Been doing halloweekends since 1999. Used to be Saturday was busy, sunday was a breeze. Always went both days. over the years, it's grown in popularity and gotten a little busier, then came the gold pass in 2018. It was a night mare (pun unintended). I no longer go to the halloweekends even though it's my favorite time to be in the park.

Thank you for the video!! I am planning on going with my youth group, and braving my fear of coasters again. My only concern is the
Scare actors as I’m not a fan of getting scared and I’m not sure if my group will be going into the scare zones or not any tips?
