Valley Fair

Minnesota's Premier Outdoor Amusement Park

Over Thirty years ago, Valleyfair Family Amusement Park opened its gates with 20 rides and attractions on 26 acres in Shakopee, Minnesota. The initial park investment was $7.5 million.

The park continues to grow every year with new rides and attractions. Today, Valleyfair is the largest amusement park in the upper Midwest with six thrilling roller coasters, a water park and more than 75 rides and attractions on 90 acres of land.

Valleyfair's Whitewater Country Waterpark is a great way to chill out and have fun! Included in Valleyfair's general admission, the waterpark's 3.5 acres offers hours of wet fun in the sun.

Check out the five water slides at Panic Falls. Also, a 4-person raft ride of Hurricane Falls, which towers above the waterpark at 70 feet.

Raging Rapids is a ride guaranteed to soak as well as thrill! Children less than 54" tall will delight in the water-soaked action at Splash Station and Giggle Run.


Challenge Park

Challenge Park is located on the southeast corner of the park. Challenge Park is a separate charge attraction and requires Valleyfair admission to participate in activities. The entire family will enjoy Challenge Park, which features four different attractions: RipCord©, Adventure Golf, Go-Karts and Bumper Boats.

An 18-story Skycoaster© ride that takes guests to a height of 180 feet. With a pull of the "rip cord" guests free-fall for an experience similar to skydiving and hang-gliding. Guests will fly at almost 60 mph. RipCord can accommodate up to three flyers per flight.
