AI Highlights
  • - Not a fair I would visit again.
  • - Staff used profanity and harassed customers asking about items.
  • - Most rides were shut down; no staff to help.

Not a fair that I will go to again in my lifetime.

Workers threaten you with profanity and harass you as you question them regarding an item or things.

I would recommend other theme parks than this one. Most of the rides are shut down during the day time and no workers are there when you want them to allow to ride them anytime you want.

One of the worst County fair's in the U.S. to say about this one.

That's my story.

Florida State Fair - Rides Review from Sparks, Texas

AI Highlights
  • - Rides closed at noon.
  • - Concert-side staff were cranky.
  • - The Ferris wheel is not for adults alone.
  • - Recommend Strawberry Festival or Busch Gardens.

Went to Florida State Fair 2015 after I have not been there since 1996 when I was 11. It,s not something or place I would recommend going to with your children or friends, especially during the afternoon time.

Most rides were all closed down when I got there at noon and cranky attitude maintenance man or hosts working on the concert side next to the fairgrounds while owners of the rides were not present during the closed rides. Would highly recommend Strawberry Festival or Busch Gardens parks like that,but this is a ripoff after coming back 19 years later. Some workers try to get testy with you when it comes to winning a prize or asking a question and they wont allow you to be alone on the ferris wheel including adults. Anyway,thats my story.

Other than that its just a fair not a big fair. End of story

Florida State Fair 2015 Armband Ripoff Scam

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Not all rides accept armbands; some rides require separate ride tickets.
  • - Additional tickets are sold at stands throughout the park.

The Florida State Fair 2015 is coming in February. Buyer Beware when purchasing armbands, as NOT ALL RIDES accept the armbands and will instead inform parents that they need to purchase ADDITIONAL tickets which are sold separately at stands throughout the park. This is very deceiving and frustrating for parents who otherwise proactively purchased advanced entry tickets and armbands in hopes avoiding lines, etc.

See the disclaimers here:

https://floridastatefair.webconnex.com/2015floridastatefair

Excerpt:

"A few rides may not accept the Armband and will require ride tickets be purchased to enjoy the ride."

And yet the same disclaimer is NOT listed here:
