Children
Can my child ride the rides?
Carnival height requirements start at 30 inches for some rides and all riders must purchase tickets/arm band to ride. Accompanying adults must also purchase tickets/arm band to ride with the child. Due to rider safety, some rides may not be accessible to all riders. All ride safety decisions are made in ordinance with each ride's posted safety requirements and by the ride operator.
