Planning Your Visit: Tips for the Best Fair Experience

Alright everyone, to make sure you have the absolute best time at the Big Ole Ballpark Fair, a little bit of planning goes a long way, guys! We want you to maximize the fun and minimize any potential stress. First off, let's talk about tickets and admission. It’s always a good idea to check our website or social media pages for the most up-to-date information on ticket prices, special offers, and operating hours. Sometimes, buying tickets in advance can save you a few bucks and help you skip the lines. Think about what kind of experience you want. Are you planning to hit every ride? Then an all-day ride pass might be your best bet. Or are you more interested in enjoying the atmosphere, playing a few games, and indulging in the food? In that case, a general admission ticket might be more suitable. Next up: parking and transportation. Check out the parking situation beforehand. Sometimes there are designated fair parking lots, and other times you might need to find street parking or use public transportation. Consider carpooling with friends or family to make it easier and more eco-friendly! What to wear is also a key consideration. Comfortable shoes are an absolute must! You’ll be doing a lot of walking, standing, and maybe even some dancing to the live music. Dress in layers, as the weather can change throughout the day. Sunscreen and hats are your best friends during the day, especially if you plan on spending hours outdoors. Don't forget your reusable water bottles! Staying hydrated is super important, and many places offer water refill stations. It’s good for you and good for the planet. Navigating the fairgrounds can be a bit overwhelming with so much going on. Grab a map when you arrive, or check out the map on our app if we have one. Familiarize yourself with the layout of the rides, food stalls, restrooms, and entertainment venues. Budgeting is also smart. While the atmosphere is priceless, the games and food can add up. Decide in advance how much you’re willing to spend on games, prizes, and those irresistible treats. Many vendors accept cash, but it’s always good to have some on hand, though some may also accept cards. Safety first is our motto. Keep an eye on your belongings, especially in crowded areas. Designate a meeting spot with your group in case anyone gets separated. And remember to follow the instructions of the ride operators and staff – they’re there to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience. Finally, embrace the moment! The Big Ole Ballpark Fair is all about creating memories. Put down your phone (after taking some awesome pictures, of course!), engage with the people around you, try new things, and just let yourself get lost in the fun. We can't wait to see you there, ready to make this the best fair experience yet!
