For years, the Cedar Point amusement park Family Day has been the most attended Gleaner event, and it’s sure to thrive in 2025. Cedar Point has a world record 72 rides including 17 roller coasters. With its distinctive skyline along Lake Erie, the park has earned the nickname “America’s Roller Coast.” Its new ride Siren’s Curse is scheduled to open in 2025 as the tallest, fastest and longest tilt coaster in North America. As the second-oldest operating amusement park in the U.S., Cedar Point also has several buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to everything offered at the amusement park, attendees can cool off at the Cedar Point Shores Waterpark. The waterpark includes pools, slides, cabanas and much more. Gleaner tickets also include access to the beach along Lake Erie, parking, and a food option.

Enjoy the spirit of the holidays at this theme park and water park in southern Indiana. A tradition since 1946 (when it was known as Santa Claus Land), this unique park celebrates Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the Fourth of July. The family-owned property features a variety of rides, roller coasters, and provides free soft drinks, sunscreen and parking. The park has 49 rides including the 1.2-mile long Voyage, considered one of the top three wooden roller coasters in the world. It rises in the center of the park, next to Splashin’ Safari’s pools, slides, wave pools, and a lazy river. The Mammoth Water Coaster was recognized as the longest water coaster in the U.S., and July is a perfect time to sample Holiday World’s four unique seasons.

The Detroit Princess was originally built as a Louisiana casino boat before making the long journey around Florida to the St. Lawrence Seaway and Toledo, where it was refitted with a gourmet kitchen. In 2025 it will mark its 20th season of cruising on the Detroit River and giving guests an upscale version of the city’s old Boblo Boats. Cruises depart from Hart Plaza on the riverfront. They typically last two hours or longer, and take in the scenery on both the Michigan and Canadian shores around beautiful Belle Isle. Boarding starts at 6:00 p.m., with cruising from 7:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. and all passengers exit the boat by 10:30 p.m.
