Question: 
How can my family save money on tickets for the fair?
Answer:

There are several ways a family can save. One way is to click on the "Fair Schedule" to view the various "SPECIALS" that are offered at the fair.

If those promotions do not work for your schedule, you will definately get the most "bang for your buck" by purchasing your Advance Tickets or

Express Pass, (1 gate admission and 1 ride band which is good for any one day of the fair) from this web site or at Walgreens Drug Stores

beginning October 1st, through October 30th only. Remember, * Ride bands purchased at the fair do not include admission unless it is a

special day when we offer a pay one price promotion that is good for a specific period of time.

Question

Children 5 years of age and under are admitted free but my question is, should I purchase a ride band or individual ride tickets for my little one?

Answer

It depends on how adventurious your child is and the height required to safely ride each ride. Heigth requirements are posted at each ride ticket booth

and at each ride. To determine if your child is tall enough to safely ride enough rides and make it worth your while to buy them a ride arm band, visit

Belle City Amusements Click on the ride section at the top of the page.  The many wonderful and thrilling rides coming our way will be listed.  Click

on each ride for a brief discription and the height requirements with and without an adult.  This way you will know if your child can safely ride enough

rides to make purchasing an arm band feasable for you. 

Remember, little ones can get tired in a hurry, so if they only want to ride one or two rides and visit our free ground acts like the Racing Pigs, No Jo

The Clown Circus, Jump the Dog Show or Kachunga the Alligator Show, your better value might be to purchase individual ride tickets once you arrive

at the fair.  Individual ride tickets can be purchased for $1.00 per ticket at any of the ride ticket booths. Rides can take from 3 and 5 tickets each. 

Question:
Can I purchase entry tickets and ride bands at the fair with a credit card?
Answer:

Yes, but the only place this service is available is when you charge your admission and ride wristbands at the entrance gate. It is not available if not

charged at that time.  Once you enter the gate ride bands may be purchased with cash at one of the inside tickets booths.

For your convenience, ATM machines are available throughout the fairgrounds.
