    Do handicapped patrons receive any special treatment?

    Unfortunately, patrons in wheelchairs are not admitted free. The Fair has facilities which are equipped to accomodate handicapped patrons. There is special parking directly in front of the Main Entrance in the parking lot.

    Should I arrive early for Midnight Madness?

    This year, Midnight Madness runs all day long, from the time we open at 4:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m. In year's past, Midnight Madness was scheduled to start later on in the evening. This year we wanted to raise the value for our patrons and give them more time to ride and play. We hope you have a great time!

    Are there any reserved seats for the Open-Air Stage?

    No. However, Open-Air Stage seats can be claimed as soon as the Fair opens daily, on a "first come, first served" basis. (Occassionally, the front row may be reserved for media contest winners.)

    Is there a designated place to drop-off and pick-up without having to pay for parking?

    Yes, there is a Drop Off Zone. When you pull into the main parking lot, immediately go to the left and you should see a sign designating the drop-off lane. The parking attendants should be able to guide you if you have any trouble.

    Are there any group rates available?

    No, unfortunately not. However, this year we have created "Family Fun Packs" which are special packages that contain discounted admission tickets and ride handstamps. Information about the Fun Packs can be found here. Depending on the size of the group, that might be your best solution.

    Where are the restrooms located?

    Restrooms are located at the sides of the Open-Air-Stage, in the Expo Hall, behind the First Aid Building, and right beside the Main Entrance building. Portable toilet facilities are also available at various locations throughout the Midway.
