Plan the Right Outing

Before buying tickets: Check season dates, parking, ride height and weight limits, accessibility, parent/non-rider admission and rain policies. Fall Halloween programming is not the same as summer amusement rides.

Official websites above have the most current hours, admission rules, weather updates and tickets. This guide was researched in October 2026; dates should be reviewed for each new season.
