Fun At The Youth Fair!!!

The youth fair is in town. Going to the fair is an annual tradition for many families in South Florida. This fair is HUGE!! It is miles and miles of adult rides, kids rides, games, mouth-watering food, shows, entertainment, a circus and livestock/agricultural competitions. There is also an exhibit center with over 40,000 local artistic, academic and agricultural student exhibits. 

This is my favorite picture:


We went on Opening Day, March 13th. Parking is free but with hundreds attending, you end up parking pretty far from the entrance. They have a tram service to shuttle guests back and forth. They also have these cool bike rides that drop you off at the entrance. The kids wanted this option.


We grabbed our tickets and P.O.P. bracelets (these bracelets provide unlimited rides instead of using a coupon booklet) and in we went. We went straight to the first Kiddieland area, there are two.  Adrian and Ivanna rode everything, twice, maybe three times!



Bumper cars was the only ride they had to stand in line for! Adrian was too short to drive so they both hopped in one car and Ivanna did the driving!



Ferris Wheels are always a fair staple!


This was the Kids Fun Slide. They were not tall enough to ride the regular Fun Slide. Maybe next year!



So many rides and fun houses!


Youth Fair

When I mentioned earlier that the Fair is huge, I wasn't kidding. These sky-carts are available to transport you form one side of the fair to the other!


Kids rollercoaster!


Around 9pm, I told them it was time to pick one last ride! They chose the roller coaster again!


We also happened to eat alot too! We had pizza, roasted corn, cotton candy, chicken and waffles, elephant ears, way too much food!

The Miami-Dade County Youth Fair is open from March 13-March 30! You can find more information at www.fairexpo.com

  3. Sky carts! So amazing.
    We can only have fairs like this in the late summer/early fall around here. I miss them.

    1. This fair comes during the spring break for public schools which usually ends up being at the end of March. If it came late summer/early fall, we would all probably all get heat strokes. It is perfect weather in March!

  7. This is making me so home sick! My parents used to take me to the Youth Fair every single year. The fair where I live now just isn't the same.
