About Seabreeze Amusement Park
What to See & Do
Jack Rabbit Roller Coaster
This wooden coaster from 1920 is genuinely historic and surprisingly thrilling for its age. The ride might look modest, but it delivers classic coaster excitement with plenty of airtime and character.
Seabreeze Beach
The park's private beach on Lake Ontario offers a perfect break from rides. You can actually swim here, which is pretty rare for an amusement park, and the views across the lake are quite beautiful.
Whirlwind Ride
A spinning ride that's been delighting (and dizzy-ing) visitors for decades. It's one of those classic carnival experiences that reminds you why simple pleasures work so well.
Kiddieland
A dedicated area for younger children with appropriately scaled rides and attractions. It's thoughtfully designed and feels safe without being overly sanitized.
Carousel
The park's vintage carousel is a genuine antique with hand-carved horses and that distinctive calliope music. It's the kind of ride that's as much about nostalgia as it is about the actual experience.
