Wyndmoor Community Carnival

It's back again!  The Wyndmoor Carnival runs through Saturday night.  We went last year and had a blast.  The one thing I would recommend is viewing the fireworks from a distance, rather than on the fairgrounds.  They were way too loud for us at the fair.

Since we're short on time and long on graduations this week, I'll offer you last year's write-up of the fair. I'm thinking not too much has changed, but I can't vouch for any of the specifics:


This year's fair has plenty of kiddie rides, including Flying Elephants, the train, a mini roller coaster, Spinning Bears, a mini ferris wheel and a merry go round.  For older kids, there are bumper cars, the Music Explorers, a wild ride called the Cliff Hanger (riders fly around on their bellies), a BIG ferris wheel, and Wipe Out.  We went with a group of kids ranging in age from 2 to 12, and all had a really good time.

The fair also has tons of carnival games, and I did see people walking around with prizes, so that's a good indication that they're winnable.  There are plenty of food stands... who knew there was such a thing as Fried Oreos?  Those got a big thumbs up from the kids.

ride bracelet for $14 will give you unlimited rides from 6-10pm.  That definitely seemed to be the best deal, especially for older kids.  For younger kids (preschool and younger), tickets might be a better option, with $20 for 20 tickets... all the kiddie rides were 2 tickets/person.  And waiting until Saturday might be a good plan... the main event to end the carnival on Saturday night is a fireworks display!
