How Much are Carnival Rides at Rodeo Houston?

The 2024 Rodeo Houston Entertainment lineup up has just been announced!  You can check it out by clicking here.  Of course, Rodeo Houston is not just about the concerts. There are rodeo events, livestock shows, vendors, the carnival, and much more.  Here is how much carnival rides cost at Rodeo Houston. Please note these are prices from 2023 however the price should not differ my much, if anything.

Let's start by saying they do not offer all-you-can-ride wristbands at the Rodeo Houston Carnival.  Each ride required tickets.  Ticket prices are $.50 each and rides require at least 7 to 22 tickets to ride. Which means it will cost from $3.50 to $11 for EACH RIDE.

HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES:

The Alien Abduction (Gravitron) takes 12 tickets($6 to ride) 

The Huge Ferris Wheel (La Grande Wheel XL takes 22 tickets($11 to ride)

The Classic Tilt a Whirl takes 12 tickets($6 to ride)

The Zipper takes 14 tickets($7 to ride)

VW Bugs(Kiddie Car Ride) takes 10 tickets($5 to ride)
