Pro-Tip for Families With Small Kids
Wristbands are not recommended for children under 36" as there are a limited amount of rides they can safely ride. Parents with children under 48" should check the height requirements before purchasing to make an informed decision whether wristbands are the best value for their children.
A complete list of ride height restrictions for the fair can be found on the Wade Shows website here. And we've also included them in the gallery below.
