Attractions

Camel Rides

Come take a ride on a majestic animal that has crossed the world's deserts for thousands of years. A camel ride is a great idea for each little adventurer to view the carnival atop a camel's back.
Each ride is $7.

Fun on the Farm

The Fun on the Farm attraction allows children to explore the world of agriculture by following the process of producing farm products - from planting to market. Children can help with “chores” such as gathering eggs, planting and harvesting crops, and milking a cow.

Kids Country 100.3 KILT Carnival - Sponsored by 100.3 KILT

Sponsored By

In addition to the action each night in Reliant Stadium, Mutton Bustin' also can be found in Kids Country, with 5- and 6-year-old participants trying to hold on tight to a sheep for eight seconds.

Daily: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. - one performance each hour, on the hour

Participation: Participants must be between the ages of 5 and 6 years old and not weigh more than 55 pounds. The cost is $15 per ride. DVDs and T-shirts are available for purchase at the Kid's Country Mutton Bustin' arena. Participation is on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Petting Zoo

The petting zoo includes a wide variety of animals - from the exotic to those found on a typical farm. Grab a handful of tasty treats and see which animals are hungry.

Pig Races

Not every participant in the Show is competing for financial rewards. With the pig races, the prize for a job well done is a cookie or a piece of candy. These contestants, a group of perky piglets, wait patiently at the starting gate. After the gate is opened, the piglets shoot forward like guided missiles in front of a cheering, standing-room-only crowd. The pigs race around a 150-foot track in only a few seconds, all dashing for sweets waiting at the finish line. This fun, exciting attraction also includes a swimming pig.

Monday-Friday - 10:30 and 11:30 a.m.; 12:30, 1:30, 2:30, 4:30, 5:30, and 6:30 p.m.
Additional performance Saturdays, Sundays, and Monday-Friday, during Spring Break Stampede (March 12 - 18) - 3:30 p.m.

Pony Rides

Pony rides are available for each little cowboy and cowgirl. Beautiful Welsh ponies walk carousel-style with their young riders. Each ride is $7 per ride, per child, and photos are available for additional costs.
