How tall do children have to be for fairground rides?
At We Are Tricycle, we are proud to offer a wide range of funfair rides and attractions for children of all ages. Whether your kids are toddlers or teenagers, we have something for everyone. However, it is important to note that some funfair rides and games do have height restrictions for safety reasons.
For the younger children, we recommend our carousels, smaller Ferris wheels, trampolines, flying elephants, paddle boats, and children's roller coasters. These children's funfair rides are specifically designed for little ones, and parents can often ride with their children to keep them safe.
For the older kids and teenagers, we have more exciting and thrilling white knuckle rides like the Booster and Reverse Bungee. These rides have height restrictions, and your child must be the minimum height to ride. This is to ensure that your child is safe and is accordance with manufacturer guidelines and UK fairground health and safety standards.
It’s important to respect these restrictions, as we want to ensure that your children have a fun and safe experience on our rides. Please don't argue with funfair ride operators - their hands are tied, even if you verbally admit liability.
