Rides & Games
North American Midway Entertainment has been providing a safe Midway experience of rides, games, and food to the Waukesha County Fair for over two decades. The company is the world’s largest traveling outdoor amusement park that entertains over 15 million fairgoers every year in 20 states and four Canadian provinces.
Spin around, fly high, and try your luck at our Midway filled with rides and games for children of all ages. Daily specials on ride wristbands help Fairgoers save money. Be sure to enjoy a view of the Fairgrounds from the top of the 110-foot giant wheel, illuminated with over 20,000 lights. Many rides are available for smaller children.
We also offer many games of skill or chance for all ages. The kids can even enjoy our “Prize Every Time” games, making our Midway fun for everyone!
Ride Ticket Prices
The Midway is modernizing with a new electronic ticketing and redemption system. Guests will now make purchases at a large kiosk, pay cash or credit, use an electronic card as regular tickets, no more paper. The cards are non-expiring and reloadable, meaning guests can and should save them year after year. Guest service and redemption staff will be available to assist if needed.

Everyone is Included on the Fun!
Come one, come all! We’d like to invite any special needs individuals to come and enjoy the fair with free admission and free rides for the individual and one guardian.
Rides will be open to special needs individuals during this time. With unique wristbands, the guardian and individual will be able to head to the front of the line. To aid in sensory needs, any rides that can have strobe lights shut off, will, and music will be turned down or off. Ride staff will take extra time and care to load rides with a guardian or caregiver allowed to ride with. Note that rides are NOT wheelchair accessible. Posted ride height might still apply and some rides might not be suitable for all participants.
Pre-registration is NOW CLOSED. For registered participants, wristbands must be picked up through the Waukesha County Fair Office on-site on Thursday, July 18th. Check your confirmation email with the directions and details!
