And fortunately for those in the military, Cedar Fair Parks regularly offer military discounts!
Who is Eligible and What is the Discount?
Well this is where things get tricky! Our family has continually used tickets for our local park. So we are very familiar with their Military Discount. But through my research I have learned that each Cedar Fair Park offers a different discount.
