🌟🎡 FUTURE OF THE FAIR WEDNESDAY 🎡🌟

At the Kenosha County Fair, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience the fun, excitement, and memories that the fair has to offer!

That's why we're proud to offer Sensory Friendly Ride Time during the 2026 Kenosha County Fair. We are excited that this is the 3rd year we have provided this special opportunity for children and families with sensory sensitivities to enjoy the carnival in a more comfortable environment.

During this special ride session, carnival rides will operate with reduced noise and sensory stimulation to help create a welcoming and enjoyable experience for all participants.

📋 Pre-registration is required. (Only the individual with the sensory sensitivity is free. Others must pay for rides or can choose to watch)
