For 2026, MyRye.com is continuing its weekly Rye Playland Ride Watch, showing what rides are open and closed in Rye Playland. This information will be updated each week prior to the weekend based on available, self-reported information from Playland (1). Please note we have repeatedly requested an updated, complete ride list from Playland to make certain we have the most accurate information and this has not been provided.

On Thursday, May 21, during a media day preview of Playland prior to its formal grand opening, First Deputy Commissioner of Westchester County Parks Peter Tartaglia said park goers could expect 90% of the 20 rides in Kiddyland and 80% of the adult rides to be open.

  • 50 Rides total
  • 42% or 21 rides closed

  • Weekly notes: The Dragon Coaster is now open as expected and the status of the gondola wheel has gone from open to closed.
  • Kiddyland only: 68% open
  • Adults Rides only: 50% open

Parking is $15. A ride band for the big park is $27 and a Kiddyland ride band is $20. Spectators are admitted to the park at no cost. Season passes are $85 for residents but are sold only online. The full pricing schedule appears below.
