All About Fiesta Friday
Come out and celebrate Fiesta Friday with us. Read below to be in the know.
Wristbands, Raffle Tickets & More
All rides and games require a wristband. Age 2 and under are free. Purchase wristbands during our pre-sale event for a discount. Pre-sale starts on March 9 and ends April 3. All pre-sale purchases will be delivered to your designated student prior to event day. A wristband gets you access to all rides and games. Wristbands are non transferrable. Rides and games are geared for elementary age students, therefore it is not recommended you purchase wristbands for adults.
Wristbands can also be purchased at the ticket booth on the day of the event for $25. Cash and credit card payments will be accepted.
