· Children 4-12 $4.0
· seniors 60 and Older $4.00
*WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 15TH ONLY
ADMISSION IS 50% OFF AND RIDES ARE A DOLLAR EACH

We have been there every year with my seven years old son and really enjoyed; there are plenty of rides for his age and for smaller kids too. Both the rides and the carnival are right withing the park so the kids can also use the park’s entertainment areas as well –  slides, go to the lake, etc. The food is very diverse and everybody can find something, my son loves the funnel cake ;)

The parade can be very enjoyable for kids too, they have goodie bags and candies…old nice cars, our local politicians which will be over present this year due to the election…clubs, sportive organizations, schools, etc…

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday parents can check up the local merchants and fill their bags with goodies, music will be present every day. This year the organizer will celebrate the rock and roll of the sixties…great for grandparents but it will entertain the youngsters as well…like Saturday Kids-A-Palooza (session for all kids talents) and Sycamore battle of the bands where three bands will compete for a grand prize of $2000.

10 WEST HARBOR BOULEVARD
VENTURA, CA 93001
Phone:
(805) 648-3376

Description: A lot of fun, my 6 years old  kid had a blast last year and we plan to go again. I’ll take the train from Simi Valley to Ventura, the train station is right across the street from the fair. A bit on the expensive side, be sure to get the unlimited ride bracelet if available. There are rides for all ages, including some where even I wouldn’t go. Interesting food (but not healthy), bungee-jumping for young and not soo young. It gets fairly crowded in the weekend, but since I’m working there is no way I can make it during the week. highly recommended, you and your kids will have a good sleep in the evening.
