The 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 when planning a visit to the fair, as well as ways to save at the fair when on a tight budget.
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.
Locked out of your car? Visit
guest services for further assistance.
Carnival: Remember that the carnival
opens at 3:00 p.m. Monday – Friday and opens at 11:00 a.m. Saturday and
Sunday. Visit the fair early to enjoy
the exhibits, animal barns and buildings.
Hate standing in line? Wednesday and 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 Monday night to avoid the
crowds. Use your Fry’s weekday discount
coupons on any weeknight but Wednesday or Thursday and spend less time in line
and more time on fun!
On a budget? Visit Fry’s March 28 – April 13 for the super
savings of 10 rides for $10.00 and save over 70% on
carnival ride tickets. DON’T FORGET
these coupons are good Monday – Friday only! Kids can read books and earn free
carnival rides! Read and Ride Report
forms can be downloaded at Pimacountyfair.com or by visiting any Pima Public
