How pricing works

  1. 1. Priced by the operator

    Rides are priced per event by the independent operator who lists them. A ride shows a figure only when its operator has approved one, and that is not the final price.

  2. 2. Every event is different

    Location, travel distance, hours, crew, power, permits and insurance change the price. Operators quote after hearing your details.

  3. 3. Event Access is the fee we charge

    It buys direct contact details for matching operators, not the rental. The rental is agreed and paid with the operator. Event Access is $99. Ferris Wheel Event Access is $199.

  4. 4. Not a booking

    Nothing on this site reserves a ride. A booking exists only when you and the operator agree one directly.

Planning a kiddie ride for your event

General guidance. The operator confirms the requirements of the specific ride before you get a quote.

  • Venue access

    Note gates, curbs, steps and how far it is from where a trailer can park to the setup area.

  • Setup space

    Kiddie rides come in many sizes. Tell the operator the area you have, the surface, and whether it is indoors or outdoors.

  • Power

    Tell the operator what power is available near the setup area; they confirm what each ride needs.

  • Your audience

    Tell the operator the children's ages and roughly how many will come. Rider requirements are set by the operator for each ride.

  • What operators ask before quoting

    • Event dates and operating hours
    • Children's ages and expected numbers
    • Site address, surface and indoor or outdoor
    • Space available and access route
    • Power available near the setup area

    Not sure about something? Tell the operator — “not sure” is a fine answer.

How Event Access works

  1. Step 1

    Find the right rides

    Browse carnival rides by type and location. See photos, equipment details and the areas each operator serves.

  2. Step 2

    Compare your options

    See several relevant rides and operators serving your area, instead of hunting through dozens of separate websites.

  3. Step 3

    Get direct operator access

    Event Access unlocks direct contact details for the operators that match your event, so you know who to call.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange the rental directly

    Discuss availability, transport, power, staffing, insurance, pricing and the contract with the carnival company itself.

Event Access is $99. Ferris Wheel Event Access is $199.

Event Access is $99. Ferris Wheel Event Access is $199. The fee is for operator contact access only; the rental is agreed and paid with the operator. One event, up to 5 distinct operators, 30 days of access.

Frequently asked questions

What ages are kiddie rides for?
They are designed for young children, but each ride has its own rider requirements set by the operator. Tell the operator the ages attending and they match rides to them.
Can parents ride along?
On some rides, yes; on others, no. It depends on the ride and the operator's rules, which they confirm before you book.
Who sets up and runs the kiddie rides?
The operator you contact delivers, sets up and operates the ride with their own crew. You arrange the details directly with them; we are not part of the rental.
When are the kiddie rides actually booked?
When you and the operator agree terms directly. Event Access gives you the operator's contact details; the rental contract, deposit and payment are between you and the operator. Browsing or unlocking a contact doesn't reserve a ride.
How much does Event Access cost?
Event Access is $99. Ferris Wheel Event Access is $199. The fee is for operator contact access only; the rental is agreed and paid with the operator. One event, up to 5 distinct operators, 30 days of access. You see how many operators match before paying, and we don't sell access when fewer than the minimum match.
