Spin, Toss, Repeat
Fun Time Shows is a family-owned amusement company that sets up at Parsons Stadium twice a year. You get the full midway: rides across age ranges, games with prizes stacked to the ceiling, and enough food options to make a full meal out of it.
A Note on Weekends
Saturday and Sunday run on two separate armband sessions with a break in between. Session 1 runs noon to 5 PM if you want the afternoon. Session 2 picks back up at 6 PM and runs through 11. Plan accordingly so you’re not showing up mid-break. Hours may vary based on attendance and weather.
Save Before You Go
Presale armbands are $30. At the gate, they’re $35. If you’re bringing a group, buying ahead makes a difference.
Coming Back in the Fall
Fun Time Shows returns to Parsons Stadium October 22–31 for the fall run. Mark your calendars.
