FAQ's

Can I get a refund?

All sales of tickets and wristbands (purchased online or on site) are final.

If you purchased your wristband online and have not yet redeemed your purchase on site, you can transfer/sell your purchase to someone else.

Are there an age restrictions on any of the rides?

Children under 2 or under 36 inches are not permitted on any rides.

Others must be personally responsible to be in good health and free of conditions that may be aggravated by the rides.

Are there any height requirements for the rides?

For most rides people MUST be a minimum of 36″ tall. For some rides, the minimum is 42″ tall.

Check all rides to make sure you are tall enough. We post signs that have the height requirement and any specific guidelines at each attraction.

For your safety, we strictly enforce these requirements.

Refunds are not provided for wristbands or tickets purchased for people who do not meet height requirements.

What does my wristband include?

Your wristband includes access to all rides for one day. If it is a multi-day event, there is no defined day for the wristband – it can be used on any one day during the event.

You do not have to purchase any additional tickets to get on WCA rides.

Wristbands do not include games or food.

WCA does not charge a fee to walk the midway area (non-riders, parents, etc). Some larger fair events, however, have a separate gate entrance fee (for example: The Cloverdale Rodeo).

If I purchase a wristband for one location, can I use it in another?

Wristbands are only valid for the location you purchased for.
