Half Off Luna Park in Coney Island Wristbands

HALF OFF LUNA PARK IN CONEY ISLAND WRISTBANDS – We happen to live near one of the greatest amusement parks in the world when it comes to roller coasters, Cedar Point. We enjoy going so much, we created a dedicated website solely to the food offerings at Cedar Point. Despite Cedar Point being anchored with over a century of tradition, first opening back in 1870, the park does little to cherish the nostalgia of yesteryear.

That is why, at least while our kids are young, we cherish the smaller and more nostalgic amusement parks.

One of the classic, Americana amusement parks that I would love to take my children to see is Coney Island, located along the shores of New York.

Personally, I have only been to the area once during my single, post college days. It was during the cooler months, and the Coney Island area was not open for the season.

April 2014 Cleveland Foundation Free Zoo Day

Free Cleveland Zoo Admission Day

FREE CLEVELAND ZOO ADMISSION DAY – The Cleveland Foundation is set out to do great things for the city and residents in 2014. Our family took advantage of their February event, offering free admission to the Great Lakes Science Center (and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum).

The April event has been announced, offering guests a free day at the Cleveland MetroParks Zoo on Saturday, April 26. This event marks the first time in 20 years that the zoo has offered free admission on a weekend day to all guests. In addition to zoo admission, guests will also be able to enjoy access to the normally separately ticketed RainForest building.

A large number of Greater Clevelanders have taken advantage of the foundation’s previous “Cleveland Foundation Day” gifts to the community. Cleveland Foundation Day on the Greater Cleveland RTA on Jan. 16 led to a 25% increase overall on RTA buses and trains. Cleveland Foundation Weekend on NorthCoastHarbor on Feb. 22 and 23 brought a record 16,450 visitors to Great LakesScienceCenter and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & Museum’s 8,000 visitors was a 500-percent increase over a typical Sunday. Last month’s Cleveland Foundation Day at Cleveland International Film Festival drew the biggest Monday audience in the Festival’s 37-year history with nearly 8,000 attendees.

Our family has been members of the Cleveland MetroParks Zoo for years, so we will not be attending this event. After experiencing massive crowds during our visit to the free day at the Great Lakes Science Center (GLSC), I am not sure what to propose to minimize crowds.

We showed up to the GLSC event at least a half hour prior to the doors opening, and were in a line several hundred people long. The record breaking crowds made enjoyment at the event difficult. So I can not even logically say arrive early, as it did no good on the GLSC day. It may even be better to arrive later in the day to minimize crowds.

The good thing the Cleveland Zoo has going for it is the acres and acres of size, and therefore the crowds will be more spread out.

Will you be taking advantage of the Free Cleveland Zoo Admission Day?
