🌟 Accessible Ride Time at the Fair

The Tri-County Amusement Association is excited to offer a designated 2-hour ride session on Wednesday for families with children who may need extra time, patience, or assistance getting on and off the rides.

There will be no lights, extra time for loading and unloading, and no lines.

This quieter, more accommodating time is designed to ensure every child has the opportunity to enjoy the fair in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

We invite families who would benefit from this opportunity to join us for a memorable experience.

To help ensure every child feels included, we are offering a designated ride time for children with disabilities who may benefit from additional accommodations. We kindly ask that families reserve this time for those who need these accessibility options so we can provide a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out
