If you have never been there, go. Great food, pig races
This fair is a bit smaller and I believe more family friendly, but really nice. Your kids are less likely to get trampled by large crowds. Many people also come with their pets.
I don't actually live in Florida buuuut. This will be my second time vacationing down there when the south Florida State Fair is there. And I really enjoy it. So much to do.. we bascially spend all day there..
