What Are The Ride Prices

Each ride price varies, ride to ride and the price is set by the amusements provider, NOT the fair.

However, they do offer unlimited ride stamps/wristbands for an additional fee.

These passes are purchased once inside the fair at the ride tickets booths.

Unlimited Ride Wristbands can be purchased just inside the fair. See the amusement provider in the park for current pricing.

Can I Buy My Ticket With My Credit Card

You can use your credit card to buy tickets online, but to more quickly get visitors into the fairgrounds, our onsite ticket booths only accept cash.

However, we do have several ATM’s located right next to the ticket booths so you can grab the cash you need for admission tickets and ride tickets, once you are inside.

Age Requirements For admittance

To ensure a secure and family-friendly environment, visitors who are below 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult (21 years or older) at all times while attending the fair.

To comply with the policy, acceptable identification may be requested from both the youth and the accompanying adult.

Failure to present acceptable identification or non-compliance will result in refusal of entry or ejection from the fair without a refund.

One adult is permitted to escort up to three minors and must stay with them throughout the visit.

Additionally, the adult accompanying the minors will be responsible for their behavior.

Acceptable identification includes a driver’s license or ID card, military ID, school ID card, or passport, with a photograph and date of birth included.
