The State Fair of Texas is way more fun when you have a game plan 🤠🎡 Save these tips before you go:

⏰ Go earlier in the season
if you can to beat some of the crowds. Getting there early in the day helps, too!

🎟️ Treat coupons like cash.
One coupon = $1. Found some from last year? Bring them! Coupons don’t expire, so save any extras for next year.

🍴 Go with people who will split food with you.
This is my biggest tip!! You’ll get to try more of your hit list without getting full after two stops.

🗺️ Make a hit list before you arrive.
This one is extra, and optional but I scout out the new food drops early, group my must-try foods and activities by area so I am not walking back and forth across Fair Park.

💸 Don’t pay full price for admission without checking the deals first.
Bring five canned food items on Wednesday for $7 admission, look into Dr Pepper Value Days on Tuesdays and Thursdays, or check the discounts for military members and first responders. There’s always a way to get a deal!

🎢 Pick your day based on your plans.
Tuesdays have ride deals, while Thursdays have discounted foods at participating stands. There’s also a calendar online for the free shows!

💧 Bring a water bottle! 
You can technically bring an unopened water per person and snacks into the fair!

Send this to your State Fair group to get prepared, or let me know if you have questions in the comments
