Select locations also accept Apple Pay and Android Pay.
What if I only have cash?
- ReadyCard cash-to-card machines are available to convert cash to a prepaid card. Cards can be loaded with $1-$500. ReadyCards cannot be reloaded.
- If you do not use all of your preloaded funds during your visit, you can use the card offsite anywhere in the U.S. that Mastercard is accepted.
- ReadyCard machines are located near Guest Services, near the shooting gallery in the historic Blue Streak building, and in the Roller Rink lobby.
- You can check your card balance at the onsite kiosk, by calling the number on the back of the card, or by visiting rcbalance.com.
- Keep your ReadyCard receipt. If you have issues with your card, you can call the number printed on it, and if you have your receipt, a representative from the card company will be able to help you. Unfortunately, if you do not have your receipt, there’s nothing we can do.
During standard operating hours, non-riders are welcome to enter the park at no charge.
Rider Requirements
Season Pass Ride Bracelets allow access to all of the rides for which the wearer meets the height and safety requirements.
Rider requirements and restrictions vary by ride; please visit our Ride Guide for details. We maintain all of the manufacturer's safety recommendations on all attractions. Additional criteria to those listed may affect guests' ability to ride.
Many rides require an adult to ride with small children. The adult rider must purchase a season pass or single-day bracelet to accompany the children on the rides.
At the Park
Season passes are valid each standard operating day from open to close. You do not have to arrive at opening; you may arrive anytime during operating hours until 1 hour before close. For opening and closing times, view our hours page.
Midway concessions are operational during all amusement park hours; view menu.
Guests are also welcome to bring their own food and non-alcoholic beverages into the amusement park; outside alcohol is strictly prohibited.
Tables on the midway are reserved for guests with purchases from our concessions. A limited number of first-come, first-served picnic tables are available at the west edge of the park. To reserve one of our rentable picnic areas, visit our picnics page.
