I am a person with a disability who requires an attendant, what are the admission costs?
The Brookin Spring Fair strides to be an open and accessible event. For our guests that require assistance to attend our event regular admission prices apply, we offer free admission to their accompanying support workers.
How much are ride tickets?
2024 prices:
1 ticket for $2
16 tickets for $30
36 tickets for $50
Most rides are 2-4 tickets depending on the size of the ride.
What are the height requirements for the rides?
We cannot say exactly what each rides height requirement will be as we won’t know what rides are coming until they actually pull onto the Fairground.
Based on past years we can say that most rides which are larger are a minimum of 42 inches, then for some of the small kiddie rides the minimum is 32 inches’. In the past there have always been a few rides that the only height requirement is that if they are below a certain height they need an adult to ride with them (i.e. the Merry Go Round).
When is the parade and where can I watch it?
The parade is on the Saturday morning of Fair weekend (June 1st, 2024) starting at 10:30AM.
There are lots of places along the parade route that you set up your chair to enjoy the show! The parade starts at the top of HWY 12/Baldwin St at Carnwith Drive. The parade will travel south on HWY 12/Baldwin St turning left onto HWY 7/Winchester Rd. The parade will finish at the corner of HWY 7/Winchester Rd and St Thomas Street.
