Do I need a wristband to participate in activities, and what does it include?

You do not need to purchase a wristband to attend.
However, if you’d like to participate in inflatable attractions or other interactive activities, a wristband or individual tickets will be required.

Here’s how wristbands work:

Resort Wristbands (issued at check-in):
All overnight guests will receive a color-coded wristband upon check-in, based on their property. This band is for guest identification only and does not include access to attractions.

All-You-Can-Bounce Pass Wristbands (for inflatables only):

Anyone 3 and up - $30

Children 2 and under - $10

This wristband gives you unlimited access to inflatable attractions.
Individual inflatable tickets will also be available if you prefer not to purchase the wristband.

All other activities are pay-as-you-go upon arrival, including:

• Tie Dye: $20 per shirt
• Trucker Hat making: $30 per hat
• Cozy Critters: $25

Complimentary activities include:

• Face painting

So while you don’t need a wristband just to attend, you will need one if you want to jump in on the fun.

Can I buy wristbands in advance?

Yes! An online option will be available for guests to purchase the Unlimited Attractions Wristband in advance. (Inflatables only.)
