Frequently Asked Questions

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, as part of the requirements to be allowed to reopen in late June 2020, we were required by the State of California and the County of Sacramento to change the way we do business:  One of the changes was, for the protection of our guests and employees, we were required to switch to a Pay-One-Price (“POP”) admission pricing structure which included both gate admission and unlimited rides for the entire day of a guest’s visit for that one price, for all ages (instead of paper ride tickets), so we could maintain and monitor a limited guest count set for us at that time, limit contact between ride operators and guests (no exchange of tickets), and have enough space per person to maintain required social distancing.  In the two operating seasons after that we discovered our guests preferred, by far, this new way of doing business, as they have been very vocal about enjoying the simplicity of ticket-free visits, the enhanced perimeter security for their children since we now have a monitored front gate, faster ride queue lines for both guests and ride operators because tickets no longer needed to be gathered, and parents no longer needing to guess how many tickets to buy each visit. When the State of California then allowed us to return to normal park and ride capacities on June 15, 2021 we decided to follow our guests’ wishes and continue with the “Pay-One-Price” (POP) unlimited-ride admissions and monitored front gate!

Our old paper individual ride tickets sold prior to the pandemic’s beginning in March 2020 (no individual ride tickets have been sold since March of 2020), as we announced frequently here on our website, on social media, and through our Main Gate Ticket Sellers and your Office inquiries during our 2020 (late June through November 2020) and 2021 (February through November) operating seasons, were accepted as full-face-value credits toward the new POP admissions for those two operating seasons, and, as also previously announced, the tickets expired on the closing day of our 2021 operating season, on Sunday, November 28, 2021.

Yes.  Everyone 34 inches tall and above must purchase an admission to enter.  Note that most of our ten rides and attractions are rideable by both children and adults (subject to the Ride Safety Rules posted at each ride), and our new Single-Day “Pay One Price” (POP) Unlimited-Ride Admissions include both entry to the park AND unlimited rides for the entire day of your visit, for all ages!

Expectant mothers or those with bone injuries (hard casts) ARE allowed to ride our Classic Carousel (only on the Carousel’s Swan Seats, not the horses) and our Funderland Express Train, however, for their own safety, they cannot ride any of our other attractions.  Good news, though:  Note that expectant mothers and those with hard casts will only be charged the reduced-price Senior admission fee ( $10.00 ) to enter, and can ride the Carousel’s Swan Seats and our Express Train as often as they’d like for the entire day of their visit!
