Children ages 5 and under can enter the park for free.

For the fairgoers looking to go on the opening day, there is a special opening day only ticket good for one admission on Friday, Sept 16. This special ticket is available for ages 6 and over and will cost $10.

And for those who are looking to go more than once to the fair, an adult and child value pass is available. These passes are valid for daily entry all 17 days of the fair. The adult (age 13 and up) value pass costs $50 and the child (ages 6 to 12) costs $20.
