Pima County Fair Helpful HintsThe Pima County Fair wants the public to make the most of their visit. We’ve come up with some helpful hints that we feel can be useful to the public when planning their visit to the fair, as well as ways to save at the fair when on a tight budget. We hope you’ll share these tips with your audience:
Plan your visit to the fair: Visit Circle K for free fair programs on the day before your visit to the fair! The Pima County Fair programs include daily highlights, hourly activities and a map to help you strategize your fun! Also, daily highlights, show times and a map of the grounds can be downloaded at www.Pimacountyfair.com
Parking: Saturdays and Sundays often have high attendance. There can be traffic delays both coming into the fairgrounds and going out of the fairgrounds. Avoid peak traffic time by planning to arrive at the fair by 2:00 p.m. There are also shuttles in the parking lots to transport you to and from your car. The parking lots have signs in the rows of parking to help you remember where you parked.
Carnival: Remember that the carnival opens at 3:00 p.m. Monday – Friday and opens at 11:00 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. If you want to arrive earlier to the fairgrounds, there are plenty of exhibits, animal barns and buildings open to the public.
Hate standing in line? Thursdays of the fair are highly attended due to the Wristband Night promotion. If you are here to enjoy all that the fair has to offer but don’t care for carnival rides, consider attending on a Friday or Wednesday night to avoid the crowds. Use your Fry’s weekday discount coupons on any weeknight but Thursday and spend less time in line and more time on fun!
