Carnival Rules & FAQ

  • Wear comfortable shoes: Guests are not allowed to wear open-toed shoes for safety reasons.
  • Factor in weather: For your safety, certain rides may close during sever weather and reopen as soon as possible. Concessions and games will remain open unless conditions are extremely severe. All tickets and wristbands are non-refundable and we do not issue rain checks.
  • Know wristband details: Wristbands are non-transferable and non-refundable. Please make certain that you safeguard your wristband as it cannot be replaced.
  • Come prepared for the unexpected: Pack sunscreen, an umbrella and appropriate clothing in case the weather suddenly turns wet or unseasonably warm or cool.
  • Secure all loose articles: Items such as keys, cell phones, wallets and other items can get lost during rides. We are not responsible for items lost on our midway, so be sure to keep these in a safe place.
  • Lost items: You can find lost items that have been turned in at Guest Services. We encourage guests to leave valuables at home and to always secure keys, cell phones and wallets during the ride.
  • Lost children or parents: If you become separated from your parents, children or friends during your visit to our midway, please go to Guest Services or the Midway Office as they are in contact with the police and security personnel at the fair as well as all managers on the midway.
  • Guest with disabilities: We welcome guests with special needs and we want to help make your day a comfortable and memorable one. Please see Guest Services to find out what services we offer.
  • First aid: There is a first aid or medic station at each of our events. Please see Guest Services or a member of our management team to find the nearest location.
  • Selfie sticks: You are not allowed to use any “selfie sticks” or photo arms while on our midway rides or attractions. This is to ensure the safety of all guests. Instead, you should leave your selfie sticks with a non-rider or they should be secured with other loose articles. Guests who do not comply with this policy may be subject to dismissal without a refund.

2027 Ticketing Information Coming Soon!

Magic Pass Cards

All ride sales will be done electronically through kiosks. The tickets will be put onto a card, similar to Dave and Busters or Chuck E. Cheese. Each ride attendant will have a scanner that removes the tickets from each card. The cards are reloadable and can be used any day and will also be usable for following years. The kiosks will accept cash or credit cards. When reloading an existing card, there will be no charge.

  • Purchases will be made through automated machines that accept cash or credit cards.
  • If a guest purchases a ride wristband, the kiosk will dispense a receipt paper with a QR code, the guest will present the QR code to midway staff that will be present at the booth, and they will administer a wristband.
  • Pre-Sale wristbands will be redeemed at the same location.
  • When purchasing tickets, the machine will dispense a card that has your tickets embedded onto the card.
  • Each Amusement ride operator will have a scanner that deducts tickets from a particular card as they are used. The cards are reloadable and can be used any day of the fair.
  • Magic Pass Cards are reusable. The Magic Pass Card with tickets is re-loadable and can be used any day of the fair and future years.
  • Ride wristbands are good for only one day and are day specific.
