Tips for Visiting

• Purchase tickets online in advance, as no cash or credit will be accepted at the ticket booth. This also helps manage wait times.
• Be aware of the 11 ft height restriction for the entrance tunnel; large RVs and full-size buses cannot be accommodated.
• If you need to exchange your ticket for a different night, ensure the exchange is made no later than 10 PM on the day your ticket is valid.
• Consider visiting on a weeknight or earlier in the season (November 7-22) if using a discount code, as exchanges for discounted tickets are limited to this period.
• Allow ample time for arrival, as the fairgrounds are large and parking attendants will guide you. Follow their directions for the best experience.
