More adventurous fairgoers can ride the 1001 Nachts. It’s a ride that takes riders for a literal spin giving them a free-falling feeling, Butler says.

Admission is $5. Individual ride and game tickets cost $1 each, with rides costing between three to six tickets, while some games cost 10 or more tickets to play. Or, you can buy a one-day unlimited ride wristband for $37. Parking for the event is $5.

The Fairgrounds are located at 1142 S. P St. For more information, visit the Kern County Fairgrounds website or Butler Amusements.
