The Festival is a great experience for all ages. I went with the grandma little sister Dad and boyfriend and they would agree with me and say this was an exciting place to spend the whole day. The admission was only $10 and you can ride the rides which are 5-6 tickets each. tickets are $1 each. Or there's the unlimited ride pass for $25. Its well worth it!! You wont want to miss any rides at this festival.
We enjoyed everything the Ostrich Festival had to offer. Going on the rides is the best part. I really enjoyed the SPIN OUT.. this ride twirls you around while swinging you about 50 feet in the air but ill leave some room for suspension. Oh I almost forgot to mention.. there is a kiddie area where the rides are for the ages (1-6) I'd say. But my little sister was more interested In the more "thriller" rides. Her favorite was the STARSHIP 3000. This spaceship looking ride had us spinning in a room at 24RPMS and allows to feel like you stuck to the wall with great force!
The rides were endless and the lines aren't too bad.. I'd say towards the end of the day the lines got a little longer because everyone was trying to get one last ride in.
There was even more entertainment on the other side. I didn't realize how big the Tumbleweed Park until that day. Outside bathrooms available.
We got to see an 1100 LB pig.. they charge $1. lol someone bring a phone and just take a picture for others to see. There were monkeys, snakes, stingrays and a huge petting zoo where you can get up close with there 100+ animals and feed them for a small price. We didn't get a chance to see the famous race but we did get to see those cool Ostriches.. They look like Dinosaurs haha.
All this walking around will definitely make you hungry but don't fret, there's food everywhere. We stopped and treated ourselves to some nachos, tacos and had a delicious strawberry smoothie, but they had tons more. We walked by some stands that had some fried bread, funnel cakes, churros, cookies,burgers and your typical carnival foods.
But enough about all that delicious food.. there's tons of games prizes, I think I walked passed a show, there's a ton of isles that have different things to look at and buy. We stopped and got some incents and candles. There's facepainting, pottery and even taste testing. Too many fun things to pass up here, Be sure to bring a hat and sunblock if you plan on staying awhile and get a lot of sleep the night before.. The Ostrich Festival will take a lot out of you!! =)
