Fair Reviews

I used to come to The Minnesota State Fair with my extended family when I was a kid, so I was happy to see that this was still happening. There’s plenty of things for everyone to do, and also plenty of food. It’s easy to navigate and there’s plenty of parking, and staff are friendly and willing to answer questions. The rides are fun and safe, and they have a great musical lineup.

I loved the the whole thing and the food all around the fair was amazing. There was something for everyone and it did not miss.

– Riley R

There is so much to do and see, and you can’t see it all in one day. Great place to visit for locals and those visiting from out of state.
