Good to know before you measure

Measuring your child

Check the posted signs and staff measurement at each attraction. Water-park heights are measured in bare feet. A height match does not confirm that a ride is operating or that every other boarding condition is met.

Companions and other boarding rules

Use the main-park or water-park filter to narrow the results. Height eligibility does not confirm operation or every boarding condition. Companion, restraint fit, posture, weight and swimming requirements still apply. Attractions needing staff confirmation stay outside the numeric totals.

Plan around the height thresholds

START WITH THE LADDER

Choose the next milestone

Tap a height to see which confirmed ride rules your child meets. Read the companion and other condition notes before choosing your priorities.

CHECK THE WATER PARK

Keep the park scopes separate

Select the water park to compare its attractions. Slide routes, life jackets, swimming ability and raft weight can matter as much as height. Follow the attraction signs and staff instructions.

Quick answers

Michigan’s Adventure height requirements FAQ

What is the lowest height requirement at Michigan’s Adventure?

36 in (91 cm), at 7 rides. Airplanes, Elephants and Frog Hopper start at 36 in with no companion height. The other 4 also start at 36 in but need a companion until 42 in, 44 in, 46 in or 48 in, depending on the ride.

What can a 40 inch child ride at Michigan’s Adventure?

A 40 inch child is tall enough for 8 of the 27 rides with a minimum height. Of those 8 rides, 5 need a companion until 42 in, 44 in, 46 in or 48 in, depending on the ride.

What is the tallest height requirement at Michigan’s Adventure?

52 in (132 cm), at Thunderhawk.

Does this checker include the water park?

Yes. WildWater Adventure has its own park filter. Main-park and water-park requirements remain separate, and the results state which park is selected. Check water-park operating dates and ticket access separately.

Why are some attractions outside the checker totals?

The staff-check list keeps attractions visible when the checked operator source does not establish a numeric lower floor, gives conflicting rules or uses platform-specific requirements. They are not counted as unrestricted or marked too short. Ask staff about the specific attraction; height alone does not confirm boarding eligibility.
