Know before you go
There is a new clear bag policy in effect.
This covers purses, backpacks, tote bags, etc. You can also carry a zip-loc style food storage bag with your personal items.
And you’ll probably need to get used to this policy, because we’re seeing more and more of it.

After 5 p.m, no one under 16 will be admitted without a parent present.
There are just over 50 rides this year, and roughly half are kiddie rides. Some rides have height requirements.
FREE admission for military and first responders
The Fair is offering FREE admission for:
* Active and retired military — with ID
