But before you can embark on this glorious adventure, there's that pesky hurdle: the ticket booth.

General Admission: How Much to Get Your Gate Crashing On?
- Adults: $15 - That's the price of a decent burger (minus the indigestion from questionable funnel cake).
- Children (6-12): $8 - Because little adventurers deserve funnel cake too!
- Children 5 and under: FREE - We all know they're just there for the pig races anyway.
Pro Tip: Looking to save a few bucks? Season passes are your friend! For $48, you can get into the fair for all 13 days. That's basically the price of two over-priced Dippin' Dots (don't judge, we've all been there).
