Top Tips for Going to a County Fair

Plan now which events to attend – Use our list below to choose which county fairs you want to attend and block the date in your calendar now. That way you don't forget when the day comes.

Decide ahead of time which activities you want to do – There are an incredible amount of activities, competitions, rides, entertainment, and more going on at each of the county fairs. Some of the things you may want to do include: The demolition derby, 4-H shows, Live music and entertainment, rodeos, rides, and fair food. Gather your family beforehand to discuss what activities and attractions everyone wants to do and see most, then check out the fair's website for a schedule of events and plan accordingly.

Take advantage of special discount days – Many of the fairs offer deals and ticket discounts, including Senior Citizen Discounts, Special Admission rates for Veterans and Active Military, Family Discount Days with specials on rides, Buy one get one free ticket, and free admission for kids under a certain age. Check the fair's website for information on what specials they have and the requirements for getting the discount. 

Purchase tickets ahead of time – Some of the fairs allow you to purchase general admission tickets in advance. This allows you to skip waiting in line when you arrive. Also, some of the popular events and shows (demolition derby, tractor pulls, etc) require additional tickets. Check the fair website to see if you can purchase those in advance too. 

Set realistic expectations with your kids – If you are planning to go on rides, let them know that they will have to patiently wait in line for the rides and that they might not get to ride everything. If you have a child who gets frightened by loud noises, explain that it can get loud near the rides and at certain exhibits. 

Be prepared to walk and stand – Bringing a stroller or wagon for little ones is probably best. 

Protect your kids (and yourself!) from the sun – There likely won't be much shade so be sure to load up with sunscreen or wear a hat to keep the sun off your face.
