WELCOME HOME TO LAKESIDE!
Lakeside Chautauqua requires guests and residents to purchase a Chautauqua Pass and Auto Pass to enter the grounds from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day (May 23-Sept. 1, 2025). Children ages 4 & under and guests ages 90 & older enjoy free admission. All Daily Chautauqua Passes are valid from the day of admission until 7 p.m. the following day.
For other important information, please visit our Lakeside Chautauqua Policies page or call (419) 798-4461 with any questions.
VALUE OF GATE PASS
Purchasing a Chautauqua Pass includes admittance to the grounds, as well as access to evening entertainment in Hoover Auditorium; the Grindley Pool and Wellness Center (on a first-come, first-served basis); and a variety of religious, educational, cultural arts and recreational opportunities.
MAKE ENTRY EASIER! PURCHASE PASSES ONLINE BEFORE YOU ARRIVE!
We highly recommend purchasing passes online before your arrival. Pre-purchased passes allow you to enter at ANY gate. There is also a designated lane at the Fifth Street Gate for pre-paid passes for easy entry.
Note: While credit cards are accepted, cash purchases are only accepted at the Welcome Center and South Gate Ticket Booth. The Fifth Street Gate continues to operate cashless.
PRESERVATION FEE
A Preservation Fee is added at the time of purchase to all Adult Daily and Weekly Passes: $2 per adult pass, if purchased online prior to arrival or $3 per adult pass, if purchased upon entering the gates. This fee serves to preserve and protect our landscapes, shoreline, buildings and amenities that have played a meaningful role in Lakeside’s past while carefully integrating improvements for the future.
Note: Preservation Fees do NOT apply to Season Passes and Youth and Child Daily Passes.
