Breaking Down the Big Bucks (and How to Save Some!)
General Admission: Let's face it, you gotta get in the door before you can ride the Ferris wheel and win a giant stuffed panda (though, we wouldn't judge you for trying to sneak in with that panda). Adults will pay a cool $15, while children aged 6-12 get a discount at $8. And the littlest fairgoers under 5? Free admission! That's right, they can toddle around and be amazed by everything for free (although, you might want to budget for some cotton candy bribes to keep them happy).
Hold Onto Your Hats (and Your Money): Carnival Rides
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
Ah, the heart and soul of any fair experience: the carnival rides! But before you get swept away in a whirlwind of nausea-inducing loops and drops, be aware that carnival rides aren't included in the general admission price. Here's where things can get a little spendy, with unlimited ride wristbands costing $35 from Monday to Thursday and $40 on Fridays to Sundays.
Feeling like a High Roller? You can opt for a season pass for $48, which grants you entry to all 13 glorious days of the fair. Perfect if you plan on making the Big Fresno Fair your second home (and who wouldn't want to?).
But wait, there's more! The Big Fresno Fair knows how to cut a deal. Check out their Deals & Discounts section [link to deals and discounts on Big Fresno Fair website] for ways to save on admission, season passes, and even those coveted ride wristbands. Pro tip: befriending a local with a BFF Club membership (the fair's free email newsletter) might get you some insider savings too!

While the rides and admission are the big-ticket items, there are other things to factor in. Parking will cost you anywhere from $15 to $20, depending on the lot. Feeling fancy? There are even reserved seating options for the live horse racing that won't break the bank (prices start at just $6). And of course, you've gotta budget for all that delicious (and potentially artery-clogging) fair food.
Here's the bottom line: The Big Fresno Fair can be as affordable or extravagant as you make it. With a little planning and some savvy deal-hunting, you can have a fantastic time without breaking the bank.
