AZ State Fair FREEBIES and Discounts!

Going to the fair can be really expensive! After you pay for parking, admission, ride tickets and food...a family of 4 can easily spend over $100. The Arizona State Fair has a web page with all of their discount days.

Last year my son got FREE ride tickets for reading books. They are having the promotion again, this year. Go HERE and print the form. Kids 5-14 can read 3 books and write a summary on each book. Take the form to guest services and your child will get a pass for 3 FREE rides! We like to go on opening day. It's only $1 to get in. My son collects his FREE ride passes and then we check out all of the animals. We will also hit up toddler town to do some free crafts and meet Sponge Bob. He will make appearances October 15th - 17th.
