SANDUSKY — Cedar Point families with preschool-aged children have a chance to save on summer visits this season. Six Flags Entertainment Corp., Cedar Point's parent company, is offering a limited-time free pre-K pass that provides children ages 3 to 5 with unlimited admission for the 2026 season. The offer is available from April 22 through May 31 and is designed to give families added value as they plan summer outings. "At a time when families are watching their budgets very closely, the pre-K pass provides real value while helping create a season full of fun experiences kids and parents will remember for years," said Christian Dieckmann, Six Flags' chief commercial officer. Cedar Point opens for the 2026 season on May 9. How to get a pre-K pass To qualify for the pre-K pass, families must have a valid 2026 silver, gold or prestige season pass or membership. They also must register for the pre-K pass online by May 31 and activate it at the park entrance on a regular operating day by May 31. A valid birth certificate or passport showing the child's age is required at activation, and the child must be present. There is a limit of two pre-K Passes per valid 2026 pass or membership. Children ages 2 and younger already receive free admission and do not need a pre-K pass. Visit sixflags.com/pre-k-pass for more information or to register for the pre‑K pass.
