Why You Can't Miss It
- Exclusive Access: While the park usually sees 20,000 guests, this private event is capped at just 5,500 tickets. That means more time on the coasters and less time in line!
- Party for a Purpose: A portion of all proceeds benefits PRIDEChicago, the all-volunteer team behind the iconic Chicago Pride Parade.
- All Ages Welcome: A celebration for the whole community. (Alcohol available for purchase for guests 21+)
- Free Parking: Your ticket includes parking—no hidden fees at the gate.

Pro Tip: Gates often open a little early! Arrive ahead of time to maximize your night. The parking lot is the perfect spot for a “pre-party” with your crew before we head inside.

The Early Bird ticket price is $48 and includes taxes and parking.
