GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Some call it the official start of summer. Green Bay’s Bay Beach Amusement Park is open again.
Among the hundreds of people at the park for opening day Saturday, one couple who stood out most.
Breann Hogan and her husband Ross decided the amusement park would be the perfect place to tie the knot.
She says visiting the park is one of her favorite childhood memories.
Hogan described her wedding as taking a trip down memory lane and was happy to surprise her wedding party with rides on the roller coasters.
As for those who came to enjoy the day at the park, rides and food were at the top of the list.
But before the park opens, there’s plenty of work to do.
Bay Beach park manager Jason Arnoldi says preparation started as early as last summer, an entire year in advance.
Arnoldi tells Fox 11 it’s great to see Bay Beach grow, and continue to draw in people of all ages.
“It’s been really cool to, as a Green Bay native, be a part of that and see this place grow and become even more of a gem for everybody. It can really be a great place for generations to come”.
For now, the park is open on weekends. Every day hours begin in June.
