Magic Money is an electronic token system held on a Magic Money Card/band, using an RFID chip. Magic Money Cards/bands are reusable and reloadable, so you can enjoy them throughout the Fair this year and for years to come! Reload your card/band using the Magic Money App, Magic Money Kiosks, or Magic Money Stations located throughout the fairgrounds.

The cards/bands can be purchased in increments of your choice and reloaded for any amount. Your Magic Money is good for any ride, game, or food vendor on the carnival midway.

Rides and games range from 4-7 credits. Credits carry over from day to day during the Fair. If you have extra credits on your Magic Money Card/Band at the end of this Fair, bring it back next year for more thrills. There are three ways you can reload credits: visit a Ticket Booth, download the Magic Money app or visit a Magic Money kiosk.

The Magic Money Card is based on credits, as long as you have enough credits you can use your Magic Money Card any time during the Fair! Additional credits can be loaded anytime during the Fair. *The Unlimited Ride band is only valid for unlimited rides on the day of purchase. You can load additional credits for food and games, or individual ride credits for extra days of fun.

Credits are non-refundable, but they don’t expire. You can use your credits another day or next year.

For more information on the Magic Money system, visit the AMP website.
