New York State Fairgrounds

It is a great fair. I can't speak for you, but if you want to travel to a fair, this would be it. Good time of year to visit Upstate NY, Darien Lake, mountains, lakes and streams and Niagara Falls. You could take a side trip in addition to going to fair, to make it more worth your while. Just food for thought. I will encourage you to make your own value judgement.

Definitely worth a call

Yes

Great. They have everything

What does it cost to get into the fair

65$ and when you return it you get back 15$

It changes every year, I'd recommend their website or calling the fair itself during regular business hours.

Yes you can rent one for the day

It's true I understand the fee of $3.00 to try have more people attending. But the price of the vendors hit the roof 😲😲

Scooters and these three wheeler things ..

You may be subject to search, PUBLIC SAFETY ,

Senior Citizens' Days are Monday, August 27 and Tuesday,August 28, 2018 when all seniors 60 years and over are admitted free

Yes. I want to say it is at least $50 or more for the day but they work well.

No, it is open now, although often quite congested, they did build a new sidewalk, and we'll lit walkway going to the 3rd party parking on bridge st, and to milton

The NY state fair is a large agricultural fair.

Parking was free at the time I visited the grounds

You didn't miss a thing the fair is not what it used to be high prices and a lot of vendors are gone if I looked into a crystal ball I would say the fair would not be around in 10 more years high rent prices for vendors and who wants to spend $8 for a beer $5 for a hot dog in $21 for a lobster sandwich come on folks

Midnight, and buildings close at 10.

5.00 or u use ur ezpass

Yes, check security

No it's not true about wearing the mask indoors. I was just there today and me and my family were not wearing masks.Alot of people where not indoors or outside. So leave the masks home if u like.

Only service animals aloud

You will have a great time at the: The Great NYS Fairgrounds. If wearing a mask when ask is allowing you to miss out on great memories and lots of fun, please stay home.

I think that stand was near the sheep/lamb expo building by the side entrance.

For an all ride day wrist band it had 2 different prices ($25 & $30) for 55 tickets it was ($50) and I think for 12 tickets it was ($6.50).Me and my family purchased the 55 tickets.They give you a paper card with a bar code on it so the employees can scan the card to deduct tickets off of that.Some rides are 5 tickets,4 tickets and 6 tickets. We failed to keep track of how many tickets we used and found out we had 20 tickets still left on our card,so I gave it to a friend of mines at work to use the next day with her kids.

You can bring your own food and water in

Bad Company

Camillus has a new Hilton Tru hotel 10 minutes from fair

Of course you can..

I called the fair office and they are NOT accepting any previous years tickets.

Websight is the most up to date.

Yes I think you might may be able to camp on the fair grounds or somewhere near them

What can of show? All shows and events are listed on the NYS Fair website.

Hey Pearl. I would not recommend you to do that. I did it last year and the results were hideous. My niece won’t stop making fun of me. I had to move synagogues

Yes, no alcohol

During the state fair yes there are rentals but for other events there I don't know.

Sorry, I haven't a clue at this point. They change policies constantly so...

There is a place for RV hookup just do not know the rates.

Ya not a kid friendly place any more. Way to much pot smoke for kids. I'm 43 I get it. But it was everywhere. I didn't see any smoking areas and I'm a smoker of cigarettes. So everyone was walking around smoking where they wanted. This combined with a lack of vendors was the worst fair I've been to in a long time.

Kids and seniors are free... Adults $3

I don't believe so. I never noticed them

No 11 am

You can pay cash or ez pass for parking. You need to pay cash online for admission. Everything in the fair should take cash.

You can use a QR code when you get there. It's the easiest and fastest way to get tickets.

No tix needed
