When I was a child we had the day off from school to go to the fair. As an adult I decided to go back and see if it was what I remembered. It's a little smaller than I remember. But there are alot of great musical performances. A huge amount of arts and crafts that are really amazing. Pretty... More

I went there last April for the Earth Day Festival and it was great. When there is no main events it is a good place to walk around and visit the museums and the planetarium. More

A great way to spend the day or several days. There is an Auto Museum, Planetarium, Hall of State, Butterfly Exhibit, Science Museum, paddle boats, fountains, a nice restaurant, plays and musicals, and a nice place to just enjoy walking around on a nice day. There is so much more that I haven't mentioned, but it is by far my... More

Personnel tried to keep the park clean during the Texas State Fair. Police were everywhere providing good security. Long walk from parking to main gate. They need a shuttle. More

An architectural master piece, home to great "Tex- Deco" buildings you will see no where else. It's not just the capital of fried foods. Home to the best state fair in the country. A must see when visiting Dallas. More

Fr us the best time to visit Fair Park is the fall when the State Fair is going on. Now you can take DART and not have to deal with parking and traffic. More

Everything is overpriced. A couple of rides for our two kids and we were out of money and had to get more. So ridiculous. We were able to ride the same sort of rides and play games at the Ft. Worth Rodeo for hours and had a blast. We'll be going there again and never to the State Fair. It... More

Events were great, but the area has gotten even seedier over the years. I would never park my car here. More

The Annual Texas State Fair is held at the Fairgrounds every year displaying a wide array of midway rides, crafts, auto shows, and a wonderful house of mirrors. Plenty of paid parking and shuttles. Be sure to see Big Tex! More
