Hitting up the ATM before taking a road trip to Cedar Point? Don’t bother. The Sandusky, Ohio amusement park has gone cashless.
There are endless ways to spend money at the park, a popular getaway for Blue Water area thrill seekers, but there are just a few ways to complete transactions: swiping or tapping a credit card or debit card or using a smart device with Apple Pay or Google Pay.
There are Cash-to-Card kiosks on site where you can convert cash into a prepaid debit card. You won’t get the unspent cash back in the form of cash, but the card can be used anywhere Visa is accepted if there’s a remaining balance.
Why go cashless? Cedar Point says, “By going cashless, we are able to conduct contact-less transactions, and it’s faster, safer and always secure.”
Cedar Point will be increasing the price of their summer passes starting May 31st. Meanwhile, the Frontier Festival is going on now at the park as part of a partnership with Prayers From Maria, an organization whose mission is to raise awareness and money to fund research to end childhood cancer.
