As the State Fair of Texas kicks off, fairgoers are excited to indulge in all the rides, games, and delicious foods that the fair has to offer. To make the most of your visit without breaking the bank, insider tips provided by Karissa Condoianis, VP of Public Relations for the State Fair of Texas, are here to help.
One of the first things to do when entering the fair is to head to Big Tex Circle for a photo with the iconic 55-foot cowboy. Be sure to exchange your cash for fair coupons, valued at $1 each, to use for rides, games, and food. Pro tip: save your coupons for the next year as their value may increase.
To save money, consider bringing your own snacks and drinks, as well as visiting midweek when crowds are smaller and discounts are available. Sensory-friendly mornings are also offered to provide a more welcoming experience for all fairgoers.
When it comes to food, make sure to try classic fair staples like Fletcher’s corny dogs, funnel cakes, and turkey legs. Visitor’s guides and hospitality booths are available to help you navigate the fairgrounds and find all the must-see attractions and exhibits.
Don’t forget to catch the nightly Kroger Starlight Parade and firework show to end your day at the State Fair on a high note. By attending the fair, you are also supporting a non-profit organization that gives back to the community year-round, making your visit even more meaningful.
With these insider tips, you can make the most of your time at the State Fair of Texas and create unforgettable memories while staying within your budget.
