Fair tickets include admission, entertainment and exhibits.  Carnival rides, parking,  games and food are not included.

Upon arrival at the Admission Gate, guests will enter through metal detectors and security will check your bags.  If you have a ticket, you may proceed to the ticket takers and you ticket will be scanned. If you don’t have a ticket, you may purchase one (if any are available) at the ticket booths. A mask is required for entry.

The First Aid services are in the small Security building west of Redwood Hall, which is on the other side of the gate from the carnival. Our team may also be roaming the grounds to assist.
