Design disaster
The 2026 version of this app is a design disaster. Finding information about anything specific is nigh-impossible. Even something as basic as parking information is hidden in the FAQs behind extensive verbiage about offsite park-and-ride, with very little information about where to go for main parking. The map is nearly useless, as everything is obscured by icons that are meaningless by themselves without the legend that’s itself difficult to use and read. It feels like this app was designed by people who’ve never been to a state fair or amusement park in their lives. Do better next year!

Fair app is Fair
Search feature not too useful. Does not hand off to map apps very well.
Trying to lure you in with non transparent prices
So the app says you have unlimited ride bands for $38, with “individual tickets available onsite” but conveniently skip over any information on the price of those tickets. Seems like the app is trying to lure people in with cheap admission, the collect pay for parking, expensive food, everything else and then trap people into getting the expensive bands for the rides once they’re already in deep.

Hard to navigate.
First it looks like it is built to appeal to a first grader. You can click on a link for the schedule to show all day events but it does not - such as “senior day”.
Works, then doesn’t
Spent some time a few days before i visit favoriting the spots i wanted to see in the app. Could view all the tabs like food and shopping fine. Came back the night before my visit to find my favorites tab wiped clean, and unable to use major parts of the app; like when you click shopping, it brings you to a page that says “voting begins Friday July 31st!” which is obviously not even the right page for this tab anymore. Multiple food vendors are also suddenly missing in the food tab despite said vendors posting on social media they are still there through the end of the fair. Unlikely that will ever be usable as the reviews from 11 years ago echo similar sentiments.
