Can I bring my kids?
Yes, you may bring your kids. Refer to event info regarding Kids at unSCruz. Anyone under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult legal guardian 21 or older. Legal guardians must be responsible for their children at all times. You must review our Child Policy. Any legal guardian bringing minor children to the event must complete our Child Registration Form. Child Registration Forms should be completed before the event to prevent delays at the gate. If we do not have forms on file upon your arrival, you will be asked to pull over and wait until the registration process can be completed which could delay your entry for quite some time. So, please register in advance. Every family with a child or children under the age of 18 must have a registration form on file with unSCruz before admittance into the event. Only one form is required per family. You are the filter for what your child(ren) see and hear, so be mindful that you know where your children are at all times. Children under 12, must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.
ALL CHILDREN MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A PARENT OR GUARDIAN IN THE RAINBOW TRIKE TRACK AND ALL FIRE ART INSTALLATIONS AT ALL TIMES.
What happens when I arrive?
Please have your ticket QR Code printed or saved to your device for each person in the vehicle ready to present to gate personnel. Drive in the front gate during gate hours with your QR codes ready to show gate personnel. If you are bringing children, you should have completed the child registration form in advance (do it NOW). If you did not, drive into the lane on the left and be prepared to pull over in order to complete this process. If you are bringing a service dog, complete the service dog registration form in advance, print the confirmation email, staple a photo of your dog to it, and have this ready to present to gate personnel. If you do not have this, you will be asked to park nearby until you sort this out. This could potentially delay your entry by hours, or you may not be allowed to enter at all. If you have purchased a vehicle pass, notify gate personnel. Vehicle pass holders will be directed to the assigned camping spot by Placement. If you haven’t purchased one, you will be allowed to unload your vehicle near the camping area but must immediately drive it to the free off-site parking lot. From there you will catch a shuttle back to the event. You must have your wristband on to board the shuttle. Do not leave your vehicle inside the fairgrounds after unloading unless you’ve purchased an RV/Vehicle pass. All vehicles left unattended (with the exception of RV/Vehicle pass holders) will be towed.
What is the policy with RV/Vehicle Passes?
A limited number of RV/Vehicle Passes will be sold on a first come, first serve basis. Directed Group Sale RV tickets will be available for placed art/theme camps.

What is the service dog policy?
Service dogs are welcome. You will be directed to a registration form when you purchase your tickets or you can fill out the registration form now.
All service dogs must be pre-registered, leashed and wearing a service vest at all times per fairground regulations. They must also have vaccination tags, dog license and event wristband with your phone number on it attached to their collars. Print the completed registration form and attach a photo of your service dog to it prior to leaving for the event and have it ready to hand to the attendant at the gate upon arrival. Failure to have these ready upon arrival means you will be routed to park nearby until you can sort this out. This could delay your entry by hours, if you’re allowed entry at all. If you are unable to successfully provide these, your service animal will not be allowed to enter the event.
If you and your service dog are not in compliance at all times, you risk possible eviction.
