Such a fun place to go. Very pricey but thats like all fairs. Huge selection of crazy fair foods. From large turkey legs, to bacon wrapped everything, to a buffalochicken chimichanga with hotcheetos, ro fried snickers and fried apple tacos. There is literally everything, even healthy options if you are dieting.
The rides are very expensive, so watch out and plan carefully if you have limited tickets.
If you are going multiple times, I would get the unlimited entries ticket along with the coupon book saver, especially if you come with kids. The book is only $5 and you get abunch of buy one get one free deals.
Also they have a bunch of shows for free. We stumbled upon a hypnosis show and it was hilarious!!!
Walking through the shopping part of the fair is dangerous, we almost bought a vacation, a new $100 shower head and a purple mattress amongst other things. They do have great deals, but I would go with a plan and a budget or else you will be spending so much!
Parking is cheap if you park at one of the sights and get a bus ride to the park for FREE. Its fast an convenient.
If you go on a $6 day there are tons of people but if you on a regular non discounted price day there are fewer people and you wont be hangry waiting in line for food.
The fair, in all, literally has something for everyone and you can get stuck there for hours and not realize the time has gone by. We had a blast and so will you!
