Went this past Saturday on 10/17/15. Went for the Metrolina Fair.
Liked that parking was free but they make up for that for by charging people 12 and up $8 dollars. I decided to get the all day pass. On the week ends it is $25 dollars. Should have only paid per ride. The thing is I went with my daughter but she did not want to go on the rides. And some of the rides you cannot go solo. They do not tell you this until you are already paid for the pass and at the ride. Who wants to bum a ride at the fair. I ended up on only three attractions. One was the zero gravity ride and after that I was done. Don't really remember it being so bad when I was younger lol. Felt like someone was holding my whole body down. Not a good feeling. Plus felt sick after the ride.
The food selection was decent but generally overpriced, go figure. They had the fried items like fried twinkie for I believe 5 dollars. And funnel cake for eight. They also had fried cheese sticks, pizza, ice cream, lemonade, sausage and grilled, shaved beef sandwiches.
I had a Nathan's hot dog, fries and medium tea for $8.50. Not too bad for a fair. Hot dog was not bad but nothing to write home about.
I did enjoy the helicopter ride for ten dollars apiece, again, cannot go solo.
I gave it 2 stars because the entrance fee of eight dollars, food on the expensive side, and paying twenty-five dollars for an all day pass when I had to time it just right on some rides to if I could share a seat with a stranger. It is also a small fair. You will see some of the same people again and again.
They did have a free petting zoo and horse ride was eight dollars.
