Florida State Fairgrounds

Wristbands are definitely worth it if you're going to stay for many hours. There are so many rides to go on and the ground coverage his huge. I love how they take your picture when you first walk in. Both of ours turned out great and the frames they put them in are super cute. You can either hang them up on a wall, set it up on a shelf l, or they have magnets on the back. Super worth the money. Not too expensive at all. Nighttime is surely busier than opening time. And it's so nice of them not to charge for parking; because they very well could just because they can. The lake jetski water show was a favorite for us.

Florida Fairgrounds is a massive local venue for large scale community events like graduations, entertainment events like fairs, and shows like the RV shows, gun shows, tattoo shows, etc. The property boundaries are easy to visualize as they are at the edge of major roads: I-4, HWY 301, Martin Luther King Jr Blvd., and Orient Rd. Parking prices range from $7-$10 per auto (they have parking for trucks and RVs but I don't know how much that is). They have lots of restrooms, garbage cans, lighting and lots of staff outside to get you parked and in for your event. Go with patience and be courteous with our community as there's lots of people of all ages walking within the parking area and the traffic is always moving.

As first time visitors to the Florida State fair, we were pleasantly surprised at how clean the fair was, parking was very easy, food benders were everywhere with everything from corn dogs too turkey legs. We’re able to visit the cracker settlement, and see much of Florida’s history. Tons of rides for the entire family and great variety of farm animals we’re on display. There was also many opportunities to feed and pet various animals including llamas! It was a great day and we will be back.

Visited for the Florida State Fair. Parking was easy, provided golf cart shuttles for parking areas if you want. Entry was quick and getting ride wrist bands was easy. All vendors were super happy and helpful. The food was amazing especially the bbq skewers. The fly over seats/ cable car from one side to the other was our favourite it was great for views.

Nice place esp with Kids every year. Great food all day along with newer additions year after year. Entertainment with Circus, Magic show etc will entertain both Kids and Adults. Rides & Midway Attractions for both Kids and Adults are must and spending time there will be memorable Exhibits with different types are nice to see.
