There are a lot of fun ways to explore Georgia, but nothing quite rivals the experience of going to the National Fair. All in one spot, you can find arts and crafts, livestock shows, agricultural offerings, games, rides, and - of course - fair food! Learn more about the history of the state and what it has to offer...and maybe even make a new friend in the process!
The Georgia National Fair has many attractions, but one that’s truly unique is the Georgia Grown Baby Barn. Families have the opportunity to see the birth of calves and piglets in the barn during the fair. Visitors to the Georgia Grown Pavilion can also get recipes and cooking tips, shop for Georgia goodies, and tour Georgie’s Farm to learn more about how things are grown. In the Georgia Living Competitions, you can see people’s entries from fine artwork to quilts to cooking to creative writing. Of course, there are also concerts, midway rides, and carnival games to play as well!
You can get a wristband that allows you unlimited rides on the midway - check here for special admission days, and when you can get wristbands for ($TBA) and a discounted gate admission for some people as well. There are also season passes and two-day passes available.
There are many amenities available to make your trip to the fair comfortable. A Baby Comfort station is available where parents can change and feed their little ones and even have a quiet place for them to rest. Hand washing stations are positioned throughout the grounds, and there are wheelchairs, phones, ATMs, and restrooms as well. This page has helpful tips for planning your visit, including what to do if someone in your group gets lost.
