The Pre-K program is still active. We have made enhancements to the program to simplify the registration process for eligible 3-5 year olds. Parents must now purchase their Gold Pass first, then register their child for the free Pre-K pass. There is a limit of 2 Pre-K passes per valid Gold Pass.

Gold passholders are entitled to enroll two kids between the ages of 3-5 into the Pre-K program at the time of activation or renewal. To receive a free Pre-K pass registration is completed online and a valid Gold season pass number must be entered when prompted.  

Purchase a Gold Pass, register for a Pre-K Pass online by August 1, 2024, follow the directions, and submit. On your first visit, print the e-ticket and bring it to the main gate with your child and a valid form of identification that proves the child’s date of birth. Examples of valid identification are a birth certificate or travel passport. These can be originals or copies. 

If you purchased the All Park Passport add-on with either your Gold or Prestige pass, the Pre-K pass associated with your account can be used for entry to select Cedar Fair Parks. Pre-K passes are only valid for entry to California's Great America, Carowinds, Cedar Point, Dorney Park, Kings Dominion, Valleyfair and Worlds of Fun.
