An unlimited wristband includes rides on the Log Jammer – our new 65 foot long inflatable slide – climbing on the Rockwall, finding your way through our maze, access to the moon bouncer and target practice at the archery station.
We also have other fun activities that are not included in the wristband package including a Tahoe Donner Tie Dye Station.
