How does the Fairs admission price compare with other forms of entertainment?
At $8.00 for a regular priced adult admission, $6.00 for seniors, and just $4.00 for children, the Fair is an incredible bargain for the entire family. It’s cheaper than almost any sporting event or movie. The Fair spends over $100,000 each year on various entertainment that is all free once you are in the gate. For example, in 2010 we we offer an exotic animal petting zoo, pig races, several roving entertainers, and hundreds of hours of entertainment on the AT & T Arena, the Gottschalk Park Gazebo, and the Stage at Lake Talbott Park. And better yet, you can get your gate ticket even cheaper if you buy it prior to the opening day of the Fair. Oh yeah, children ages 5 and under are free!!
