Pima County Carnival
The carnival is split into two sections; The Kiddie Land Carnival, which is located near the Pima County Fair Main Entrance and the main carnival, which starts near The Grand Wheel! There are rides for everyone at the Pima County Fair. The main midway offers fabulous fair food and nearly 60 different carnival rides and almost 50 midway games, sure to thrill the youngest to the youngest at heart!
The Pima County Fair Carnival operates a ticketless system called, The “FunPass”. The FunPass is a swipe card that works similar to a debit card or a pre-paid phone card. The customer purchases a FunPass at the carnival ticket box. A unique account is instantly set up with the amount of purchase. The FunPass holder presents the card to a ride operator, the card is scanned and the appropriate number of “tickets” will be deducted from the account. The card can be used any day of the fair and reloaded once it is emptied at any carnival ticket box. For more information on the passes, click here.
