Details

Please note: Time changed to 10:00AM to reflect when gates open.
Weekends are incredibly busy so I highly recommend arriving when the fair opens.

I highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance. There is typically a long line to buy tickets onsite. Purchase tickets online here:
https://tickets.floridastatefair.com/tickets
Adult admission is $10 in advance
After 2/9 it's $15

Bring a bit of cash to buy water. Outside beverages are not allowed and many food stands only accept cash for purchases <$5.

Parking:
There are 3 entrances into the Fairgrounds parking facilities: Orient Road, Martin Luther King and US 301. It is absolutely critical for guests to remember which road/highway you used to enter the parking facilities and which gate (1, 2, 3 or 4) you used to walk into the interior grounds.

There's plenty to see and do at the fair:

Ferris wheel
-Eagle 16 is included with admission
-Midway ferris wheel is the largest and pretty neat view

Shows such as
Circus Show (included with admission) and always amazing

Food
-Pork belly pineapple bowl
-Mexican street corn pizza
-Mexican street corn sundae
-Dillylicious loaded pickle fries
-and more!
