The Arizona State Fair is always one of the biggest highlights of the month of October with Fall just beginning and Halloween right around the corner. To me, it sets off the holidays just right.
I went on Wednesday which I believe is the best day to go because there are so many discounts and perks.
1. Free admission with non perishable canned foods (4 cans) to be donated to St. Mary's food bank
2. $2 rides and games
3. Not as crowded as the weekends
You can expect the obvious, which is that it's going to be expensive. But if you keep that in mind and go with a fun attitude then it's always a good time. As mentioned above, the $2 rides and games are totally worth it. One game equals to about $2 or 4 tickets. Yes, sometimes it takes more than one chance to win a prize but it's not bad for the price esp. if you win something on the first try!
The foods are always great but of course expensive as well. I'm always excited to try all their different creations and fried foods.
