Four children are trapped on a stuck carnival ride in Geelong, with two of them suspended up to 35 metres in the air.

Emergency services were called to the family carnival being held at Waurn Ponds shopping centre in southern Geelong about 2pm on Saturday.

Fire Rescue Victoria says two children are suspended around 35 metres in the air, with another two trapped on the ride "though significantly closer to ground level".

Crews have raised a ladder and are working to free them.

There are no reports of injuries so far and rescuers are expected to remain on the scene "for some time".

A possible thunderstorm and gusty winds are forecast for the Geelong area on Saturday afternoon.
