My sister and i went here on a a Friday i believe it was the first day and it was still crowded but not overly crowded im sure on the weekends you cant even move lol. There was a lot of good places to eat, a lot of activities, petting zoo, you get to see the horses up close and personal, it was just an over all great experience.. Ive been to dallas texas state fair and i can say this was kinda similar even though not as large but it was still a great experience i plan to return next year. Oh FYI if you dont have medical or disability issues where you need to park near the entrance i would suggest parking on the outside theres good prices even though its a long walk from the entrance you wont be caught in exit traffic leave from the fair parking areas….

This is the biggest fair I have ever been to, we had such a great time here, not only are the grounds huge but the different building they have for CT, MA, VT, etc are just jam packed with so many gems. Endless amount of fun and food. The food can be a little pricey like any fair you go to, if you can go on the day they have the $3bites especially if one of your main reasons for going is sampling all the different food would save you quite a pretty penny. This was my first year going to the state fair so I learned that the ticket is just for admission which I probably could have found out from a little more research, you still have to pay for parking for the fair, any carnival rides you would like to go on and things like that. I was just so blown away by everything they had in one place. One of my favorite things was the exhibit they had of the baby chicks hatching in real time and being able to interact and hold them so much fun.

Great fair with lots of tasty things to eat and plenty of entertainment for the whole family. The 4-H portion is excellent and educational. The midway is flashy and busy. The home-show has lots of new items each year. The avenue of state houses is fun, but can be crowded and busy. The fairground is overrun with people drinking alcohol and I would like to see much less of that.
