I keep getting a lot of questions about the State Fair of Texas, many of which I don't know the answer to. Some of which I do.General Admission is $14. Kids under 48" get in for $10. If you are 60 or older it is also $10. Kids 2 and under are free. 60 and over is free every Thursday.
You can buy your Fair tickets at Kroger at a discount. Both General Admission and Season Passes.
The Fair opens at 10 am and closes at 10 pm on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays the Fair closes at 9 pm.
Official Fair parking is $10.
On Saturday and Sunday you can take the DART train to the Pearl Street Station where the State Fair provides shuttles to the Fair. The rest of the week DART isn't such a good option.
You can bring backpacks and food to the Fair. You go through a light security check at entry. It's not as bad as airport security.
I don't know if there are viewing screens outside the Cotton Bowl for fairgoers who just can't miss that Red River Shootout football game between Texas and Oklahoma. RV parking passes are available online. The only overnight RV parking is the night of the infamous football game. Why you would want to drag your RV to the Fair, but not to stay overnight, I do not know.
RV Parking with no hookups is $200. With electrical hook-up it's $275. If you are dragging a vehicle behind your RV it's another $75.
The Chevrolet Main Stage is free. You can see Jessica Simpson and Kellie Pickler there, among others who aren't familiar to me, like Michelle Branch, Jordan Pruitt, Kevin Fowler, Rodney Atkins, Bell Biv DeVoe and others.
The Midway operates on a slightly different time frame than the rest of the Fair and can shut down during bad weather.
I got a comment this morning on the YouTube video I made of last year's visit to the State Fair of Texas. I think it was from a little girl, judging by the syntax and the Internet nickname of diannadidi....

Which part of the week is it a good option?
I can see where that would confusing. The idiot who wrote that should have said that on Saturday and Sunday you can get to the fair via the DART train.
