The 70th Annual San Bernardino County Fair, open now until the May 22 and again May 25 through 29, offers the potential for fun as individual carnival ride tickets will be 50 percent less than most carnivals and previous years. Individual carnival ride tickets are now just 50 cents each and each ride ranges from three to 12 tickets.
“It costs us the same to operate the rides whether they are full or not, so we would rather see hose seats full of excited guests,” said Davey Helm, CEO of Helm and Sons Amusements.
General Fair admission is $7 with children under age five allowed in free. Guests have multiple options for enjoying the colossal carnival attractions. Individual ride tickets can be purchased or carnival enthusiasts can buy wristbands for $25 onsite. Carnival wristbands include unlimited rides for one full day on the day of purchase.
The Carnival Super Pack is available online only and includes one Fair admission ticket and one carnival wristband for $30.
“The maximum price per ride regardless of the ride, even the largest most extreme rides like the
Big Splash, is just 12 tickets, a great value,” commented Helm.
If you want to ride more rides faster, wristband holders can upgrade to the WOWXpress fast pass.
For an additional $15, riders can skip the long lines and use a special designated VIP entrance at every ride. The WOWXpress fast pass has limited availability daily to ensure exclusivity for those who upgrade.
Even the carnival games offer an excellent value as many games have an option for a $2 or $3 game. Many games are winner-every-time, so every player gets a prize.
