I usually go to the fair once a year to try some of their food suggested by people online. So my rating is based off their food, not the actual rides. The elephant ears are really good. A sweet delight that I think everyone associates with the fair. It is VERY buttery, so that could be a turn off visually to some. I also order the Doritos loco chicken on a stick. Pleasantly surprised with the flavor profile of this. As the name suggests, it's a chicken pierced by a stick. It is fried, and covered with liquid cheese and Doritos crumbs. While unhealthy, it was super delicious. The last item is the one I was most excited for, but unfortunately I would never get again. I heard from some friends that the Birria Ramen was great. Unfortunately, it was overly salty. They use the $1 Marucha ramen cups that you get at Publix, and they put birria mix in it. The taste was overwhelming. I would rate 3/10. Overall, despite me only coming for the food. The FAIR is a fun place to bring the family. It has varies rides, and activities to take advantage of. read more

Haven't been to the Fair in legit 12 years. I came for the food and the shows. I ate corn in a cup ($13, absolutely delicious), Turkey leg ($20, overpriced, tasted fine but not amazing), and elephant ears ($10 doughy-sugary goodness, can't go wrong). To drink, I had the freshly squeezed lemonade in the novelty cup which offers discounted refills (definitely worth it, definitely recommend. Wonderfully refreshing for this FL hot days). If you're like me, who are not there for the rides, do not pass on the shows. The ice skating in particular was so much fun, and so entertaining; good for the whole family. Parking is free, but there is a 'preferred ' parking option where you pay to park closer. I used the free parking but I got there at 2:00pm so the walk wasn't bad. Definitely bring a hat, and possibly one of those portable fans (I did). The heat is no joke and there is limited shade. read more

I've been coming to this fair for more than 20 years. I used to ride all the rides, but with age and some back problems, I mostly come now to enjoy the fair food. That said, it's becoming quite expensive to try different foods, with most plates ranging from $15-$20 each. This year they added something new by bringing animals into the expo area, which was a nice and interesting addition. Aside from that, everything else felt pretty much the same. In the end, I spent about $40 on just three items. read more

Jurassic Quest, or the interactive dinosaur expo, ran for August 22nd-24th 2025. Tickets started at 28.67. Once inside you can stay as long as you want. There were a variety of activities for young children, such as fossil excavation, miniature golf, animated, moving dinosaurs, arts and crafts, a bounce house, and the list goes on. There was an area to buy souvenirs and another to purchase food such as popcorn, empanadas, hot dogs, hamburgers etc. It was pretty crowded and there were often lines to eat, ride a dinosaur, and take pictures with eggs. read more

It's fine. If you're bringing kids, they'll have fun (kids don't notice how much you're spending). But if you're chasing childhood memories, brace yourself -- the Youth Fair today feels more like adult debt than youthful joy. The Miami-Dade County Youth Fair... I mean, it's a fair. You know the drill: overpriced rides that spin you until you regret the funnel cake, games where the only thing you win is shame, and food that costs more than your first car payment. Add in traffic that moves slower than a sloth on vacation, and parking that makes you question every life choice that led you here, and voilà -- you've got the Youth Fair experience. History-wise, this isn't just any carnival. The Youth Fair started back in 1952 as a showcase for Miami's kids, schools, and agriculture -- kind of a wholesome mix of livestock competitions, art projects, and corndogs. Over the decades, it grew into one of the largest fairs in the country, drawing close to 600,000 visitors a year. Back then, going to the fair as a kid was magic. Funnel cakes bigger than your head, neon lights that made you feel like you were at Disney for cheap, and the haunted house that seemed scarier than it probably was. But now? It's not what it used to be. Nostalgia doesn't cover the fact that ticket prices keep creeping up, rides feel like they've been on the same bolts since the Nixon administration, and traffic getting in and out is its own ride -- "Escape from Tamiami." You pay a fortune for admission, more for food, and somehow end up wondering if you just spent $100 to walk in circles with turkey legs and cotton candy. read more

The International Orchid Festival was held here in January and wow! Impressive how organized parking is, how spacious it is inside the expo center & just overall a great experience. I look forward to returning for the Rare Plant Festival in April! read more

Today Paul and I purchased tickets to the Orchid Festival along with some members of the Valencia Sound Orchid Club and spent a nice day at the Festival. Honestly I felt like it was just a market for orchids. There were tons of vendors selling their plants. I thought there was going to be demonstrations and classes on how to take care of them but I never saw that after walking around for hours. The parking was great costing $5 and we were feasible to get a handicapped spot. Bathrooms were clean and they did have a food concession which we didn't use. It was very crowded. The orchids were beautiful, and of course I purchased a couple with fertilizer and insecticide. I am hoping for the best. read more

You make the Youth Fair a 5-star experience by coming out with friends! Besides the rides, I remember having to submit a project for exhibition here as essentially the midterm exam for my drafting class (#humblebrag I won first prize all 4 years). I also remember coming here as a school field trip, and my favorite ride back then was the Gravitron. Yes, they still have the student exhibits, and the hall has a farmers market / swap meet vibe with crafty stuff for sale. They still have the grafitti tshirts from the 90's I remember. The animal exhibits - especially the racing piggies - were fun to see. The announcer for that exhibit was hilarious! Fast forward to this year, and I attended with my usual group. We came to a consensus on not doing the rides but rather to enjoy the (not necessarily Michelin rated) bites. We sampled & enjoyed pretty much every dish with my favorites being the steak on stick with tostones (definitely add the lime), and believe it or not , the basic meat lovers pizza. For dessert, you have to have the classic Elephants Ears! read more

I visited the last day of the fair and I must say that I had a wonderful time with the family. For it being the last day it was not overcrowded and the grandkids never had to wait in long lines. The food was expensive as expected and not good at all horrible overcooked, undercooked everything bad. They had a kiddyland area that was perfect for the kids and they had plenty of rides for under 8 yr olds. they also had a sensory area for Autistic children which I found to be excellent as well as the ride operators had a great attitude with the kids. They had many rides and game areas which made it so fun. no fuss from the staff when it came to getting on rides with the Kids and not having a band. Overall we had an awesome time but were highly disappointed with the "fair food".That is what I look forward to the most when attending the fairs or parks. read more

I had not been to the fair in over 10 years! I found that it has not changed much. We went on $5 day and it was not as crowded as we thought. It was worth the entrance price. There were also a lot of $5 food deals, some worth it, like pizza, others not at all. The food is very expensive. There were a lot more choices now than the last time I went. We tried the chicken pita and it was pretty good. One of the healthiest options. Of course we had an elephant ear, honestly not as good as I remembered it being. They do have a good deal on drinks in a souvenir cup and then discounted refills. The lemonade was great! The rides didn't have really long lines. Overall a fun time! read more

It's an annual tradition to come to the fair! This year we came on opening day which was really nice. A lot less people and they had a whole celebration going on with a Junkanoo band and bands/dancers from schools. Really nice. The food this year is absolutely delicious. They added some new items on the menu which is always fun. We had a few of the new items and they were delicious! Check out the pics. Parking is free, so no need to worry about that. They do offer a few days with entrances for $5. Check it out online. Also you can download their app which helps map out the food stands! read more

The Miami-Dade County Fair and Expo is always a blast. We have a family tradition of going every year to enjoy the food and the younger crew enjoys the rides. So much to eat - corn dogs, cotton candy, candy apples, elephant ears, cinnamon buns, mini donuts, pizza, Italian sausages, shish kabobs, popcorn, fresh squeezed lemonade and so very much more. The rides are a blast too! Go early to avoid the late crowds and the kids get a chance to ride on everything they want because the lines are not too long. See you again next year at the fair! read more

Last Sunday, we went to the Youth Fair with friends & family because we hadn't been since before Covid. It was a lot of fun and reminded us of younger days there. There were so many booths that we stopped at. The food booths were the best: elephant ears, corn on the cob, fudge, smoothies, coffee, tacos, pizzas, Mexican Street Corn, delicious banana pudding, wings, corn dogs, burgers and much more. We went on a bunch of rides and screamed with the best of them! Amazingly, we didn't get dizzy or sick. We didn't want the hassle of parking out in the left field, so we Ubered. Great fun! We will try to go again next year. read more

Just went to the youth fair. We had beautiful weather and the park was not overly Crowded for a Sunday. The food was good. Corn dogs, donuts, elephant ears, funnel cakes, corn, ice cream, cotton candy, candy apples, rides, circus, and more. It was great to see. Only reason to lose one star, the park needs more hand sanitizer and washing stations throughout. What a difference a Little time has made since Covid. Last year the park was very stocked everywhere you turned with sanitizing stations, hand washing stations, etc. today, we saw just 2 throughout the entire park. One being the entrance of the circus. Overall though, it was a nice. read more

The funk fest concert was great! Jezzy and Mary did a great job. The concert starts at 4pm and doors open at two. I got there at 6pm. The weather was nice but it did get humid when I started dancing. I left with my hair wet wet. Like I had just washed it. Wouldn't advise curling your hair unless your gone sit down all night. Paid for premium parking online with tickets to show but when I got there was told there is no premium parking on dec 30 2022. They also have limited handicap parking that was all gone as well. We will see tonight when I return if I get premium parking for the 2nd day. The power went out on the stage for about an 1hour to 1hour 30 minutes. Just before Jezzy performance. Love the slushes, food and top shelf drinks. I would advise to pay for general admission ticket bring your own lawn chair and chill. You will still have amazing time for $99 for two days. Be advised the paid seating was hard fold down lawn chairs. If you want to spend hundreds on it be my guest. read more

Took my daughter here for some Sunday night fun because it has been gone for so long. It brought back memories of when I used to go here with family and friends as a teenager. I couldn't wait to get inside and get a corn dog, the lemonade and a funnel cake. My daughter was so excited to eat the ice cream and I was happy for her to finally partake in some of the rides. We purchased the ride tickets which are $1 per ticket, but you can buy an all access pass as well. My daughter is 3, so we didn't need the pass. I love that they have the kids rides all in one place so you don't have to travel far for your kids to have fun. We rode some rides with her, ate Turkey legs, chicken wings and fries and Ice cream. read more

The Fair! Be There! I've been going to The Fair since I was very, very little. Some of my oldest memories are from fun days at The Fair with my family. In fact, I have not missed a single year of it since my early years. It's a fun time and a must-do in Miami! I think the entrance prices have remained decent over the years. They have lots of deals for ticket prices: select days have a deal for $5 entrance, there's a day where it's free for FIU students & employees, half off on all weekdays if you enter before 6pm, and lots of deals for students, military, and Miami-Dade County employees; check the website under "deals & discounts" to see them all. We usually go on one of the $5 days. Keep in mind that if you go on one of these days, it will be very busy! You may have to wait in a little bit of traffic to park. Bonus is that regular parking is free, and there is additional designated free Fair parking at FIU (make sure to park only where it is allowed, signs will lead you there). There is a complimentary tram within the Tamiami parking on busy days. There is so much to do, see, and eat at the Fair. You could spend hours upon hours here. This year (2023), I was particularly impressed by the amount of entertainment. They have continued with the traditions of the ice skating show, the pig races, the petting zoo, the circus, the rodeo etc., but they also added several stages all around the park where musicians are playing music. One band in particular, at the stage at the end of Kiddie Land, was absolutely amazing! They also had a DJ playing in the globe at the entrance, and he was really good! Oh and when we first arrived, there was a wonderful mariachi band playing near the entrance. Very nice touches! There are endless rides and food options. I usually skip out on the rides lately, but they look like a fun time! I remember going on so many of them as a child. You do have to pay for rides, but there are many options on purchasing tickets or an unlimited day pass. I believe this year, the unlimited pass is $30-$35 depending on when and where you purchased (check website for more info). I find that if you go on a busy day, the food is amazing. It's super fresh and delicious. In prior years, we've gone on slow days and the food was mediocre/not particularly fresh; we actually prefer to deal with the crowds because it means better food! This time around, we had corn on the cob, wings, fries, pizza, pork kabobs, elephant ears, and deep-fried oreos. All of it was SO GOOD! The inside section has lots of artwork by our local students. Make sure to check it out! See the circus, watch the ice skating show, pet the cute animals, ride the rides, eat the food, and have a great time!! read more

WOW!!!!!!!! Let me say it again. WOW!!!! This was the BEST FAIR, MY WIFE, AND I HAVE EVER GONE TO!!!! Not only was the food incredible, but the rides were great, too. About the food, my family enjoyed Mexican Corn for the first time from the vendor across from the bumper cars. In the corner, by the log water ride and the large ferris wheel, we had Cuban sandwiches on funnel cakes with guava jelly on top. We also had a couple of gyros from the gyro place close to the same location, and we also had strawberry cheese cake on funnel cake for dessert from the same place we bought the Cuban sandwich from. As we were leaving, we bought a deep-fried Snickers bar and deep-fried oreos. It doesn't get better than these treats!!!! The Cuban sandwich was really something we will never forget. They sell better Cuban sandwiches in Little Havana but the funnel cakes 5 twist made it an epic sandwich. It's a must try if you go to the fair. The rides - Most fairs my family has been to have a few little dinky rides that were out of date and boring even for 7 year olds. The size of this fair blew our minds. The walk around the fair will cover two days of Cardio exercising. My high school and college age sons loved the place. We bought the unlimited ride pass, and they rode all night without worrying about buying more tickets. They haven't had this much fun on rides in years. It was really fun to watch them run to give a report to my wife and I about how much fun a ride was and that they were going to ride it again. It's too bad we ran out of time and they were closing for the night. They could have ridden the rides all night. There is a Wild Mouse roller coaster that will jar your entire body into a chiropractors office, but it's great for the younger ones with bodies made of rubber. They sell pictures of the riders for a few dollars to capture the moment. I was able to relive a highlight of my youth and took a ride on a swing ride. I hadn't been on a ride like this since Hersey Park in Pennsylvania around 45 years ago. It was another highlight of the night. This fair has something for everyone of all ages. If we were spending more days in Miami, we would have gone here another night. It was an incredible place. I honestly liked it better than the Orlando parks because you didn't have the hour long waits. It's old-fashioned fun with incredible food and rides. There are duplicate rides of the most popular ones, which keep the lines smaller. For the price, this fair can not be beat. I wish this fair would come to the Jacksonville area so my family can experience it again. It was really THE BEST FAIR WE HAVE EVER GONE TO!!!!!!!! If you are in Miami while the fair is there, do yourself and your family a favor and go to this fair with an empty stomach. If you live in Miami, go a few times so you get to experience all the things we missed because we didn't have enough time. read more

This was my first time every visiting the Miami Fairgrounds and what an amazing experience! I was shocked at how large the space was! All of the fairs that I have been to in the past have been a lot of fun but none of them even compared to how much fun this one was. Upon arriving we got in line to get wristbands for unlimited rides (highly highly suggest) where we quickly were helped and were right on our way. Right when you walk in there are food vendors everywhere and thank goodness, bathrooms right at the front! If you come to the fair on a full stomach you have made a mistake! There are seemingly endless food vendors with all types of food. From turkey legs to arepas you can find it all. While we were here we had to have a corndog because its one of my favorite fair foods. There are tons of different vendors with corndogs so we wandered around until we found the best deal! We were also pretty thirsty and thankfully they had tons of options for beverages. If you're looking for lemonade, fruit punch, or any of the classic fair beverages, THEY GOT 'EM! If you're looking for more of an adult beverage they also have craft beer vendors all over the fairgrounds with incredible options from breweries all over the country. Let's talk about the rides! There are FOUR Ferris wheels, all different sizes! There is a gondola ride that takes you over the entire fair. There are slides and roller coasters and basically any classic fair ride that you could ever want! There is even a log water ride but you will get splashed so if its chilly out, I do not suggest it. My favorite ride was the giant swings! So much fun and you can see the entire fair from the top! There are also all sorts of games with prizes, fit for any age. There are shows happening all of the fairgrounds throughout the day. We got to witness some pig races, which I highly recommend, because it was so much fun. There are farms animals that you can walk around and even some petting zoos! One of my favorite things to check out was all of the local school kids' artwork! If you didn't get a chance to check out the Miami Youth Fair this year, make a space in your calendar for next year because it is 100% worth a visit! read more

A good limited time event to have something to do with family, friends and even on a date. Note when not getting on any rides completing the walk of the whole park is between 2.5 to 3 miles. Also many food items have gone up its pretty price. Expect to pay any food item above $5. Also the fair ground no longer have individual tickets, you'll have to buy and $35 per person arm band that works like an unlimited ride pass. Eventhough the entry fee is $14 is reasonable you'll be paying alot more if you want to ride and eat/drink. read more

Miami-Dade County Fair & Exposition - Elephant ear - Amusement Parks Near Me - Miami, Florida

The fair, be there, it's all there, the fair... BE THERE! Or some other similar lyrics. My memory is that of a goldfish in all actuality. The fair, better known as the Youth Fair, comes around every year in March to please plenty. It's the traditional field trip that students year after year look forward to. At least that's how I remember it when I was a kid. As an adult, I think this may the second time I've gone in years. Last time I went was during late high school and/or early college. How time flies. They have a lot of the same things I remember from years ago. There's Arnold Hall for those wanting to see student exhibits and wanting to buy trinkets. A petting zoo, too, an ice show, and food galore central. General admission is $14. Parking is free unless you opt to do preferred parking. Tickets are expensive at a dollar each, so getting the unlimited pass may be your best bet. $28 on weekdays, $35 on weekends. A lot of rides around, but many of them were closed or being repaired. A lot of rides where you go upside down, some roller coasters, and a traditional Ferris wheel. Lots to do. As far as food goes, because seriously you're on Yelp and that probably means you're a foodie, prepare yourself. Corn, burgers, skewers, elephant ears, you name it. Oh, and for the adventurous ones: a donut burger. I'll let you think about that. Overall, a fun time, but at least for me, this wouldn't be something I do year after year. The novelty's worn off for me. I'm not a kid at heart, I guess. read more

Thanks to Dan C's UYE, I've finally returned to the Miami-Dade Youth Fair after a few years with some good company. General admission was $14 and my plan was to be here for the food and games only. No rides. I was happy to be the community bag holder, but eventually somehow I succumbed and purchased the unlimited ride pass at the $35 weekend price ($28 on weekdays). Because you know.. everyone else was doing it. So I had to do it too. But even then.. I chose the rides that only grandpa would've enjoyed. No twisty, upside down, gravity-defying rides for me. As for the food, I had a Mushroom Burger from Bob's Burgers which was pretty decent. I heard about a famous donut burger, but was not interested in it at the moment. Also had a small portion of a big Butterfinger donut. This donut was pretty sweet due to the toppings. As a side note, Butterfinger was one of my favorites growing up. I had these foods accompanied with a Blue Moon beer. My dear friend inhaled two whole corns all by herself, her favorite. Overall, prices were fair for the most part and the games costed about $5 each. Long gone are the days when they used to charge $1 or $2. As for parking, it's free. However, there's a new thing called Preferred Parking which you can opt to pay for. We decided not to since we arrived pretty early at 1:30pm and didn't have to park too far. read more

This is a giant fair, probably more than a mile long. I attended on the last Saturday before closing for the rest of the year, it was packed. My boyfriend and I assumed if we went later in the day it would be better, we were wrong. Admission on weekends is $16 and unlimited rides is $40, definitely a pretty penny. There's lots of rides so its slightly worth it. Only thing I suggest is getting a Fast Pass so you don't have to wait as long in the lines. Also they charge $4 for water and they won't refill your cup without an up-charge. Still was fun though just very expensive. read more

Miami-Dade County Fair & Exposition - Amusement Parks Near Me - Miami, Florida

We've been coming to the Dade County expo for over 30 years. More specifically, The Fair. It's Miami Dade's annual expo and ride extravaganza featuring tons of attractions, shows, animal exhibits and greasy, but oh-so-addictive fair food. The Fair runs for about 3 weeks, usually between mid March and early April. Prices for entry is about 14.00 per person but there are plenty of specials and coupons you can find, especially for weekdays. For food, prices range from 3.00 and up, but it's definitely on the more expensive side , since it's the fair. Dade county students usually will get special tickets for admission through their schools as well. Some tips and highlights: -Buy unlimited ride bands if you plan on riding a lot of rides. It's provides a lot more value than tickets. -Purchase discounted tickets and bands at Sedanos -Go on a weekday if possible. If not, go early weekends. Nighttime is nice for the views, but can get very crowded and at times dangerous with fights. -For tots, there's two Kiddie Land areas, one near the entrance, the other towards the back. - There are plenty of shows including a circus, bands and acrobatics. -Walk through the actual expo and see art displays from local students. Our favorites foods include: -Gyros -Shish Kebabs -Elephant ears (try it with Bavarian cream) -Churros -Lemonade -Roasted Corn -Parking is free but there's also the option to upgrade if you go on the weekends, when it gets packed. There's also a tram that will transport you if you park far in the free parking section. All in all, The Fair is a fun and enjoyable time if you plan well and know what to expect. Its not the cleanest, at times it gets rowdy , and some of the people there can certainly benefit from having better manners, but...its a Miami classic and worth the visit for the fun and memories. Just know you will have to spend some bucks , but that's to be expected at any fair. It's remained consistent throughout the years and this year, 2019, they've added new rides and food. Go and have a great time! read more

Go with your family... Go with your friends... For good times WHERE FUN NEVER ENDS!! The Fair! Be there! ITS ALL THEREEE!!! THE FAIR!!!!!!! BE THERE!!!! Us Miami folk know that song by heart and there's a reason why. Because it's the fair, bro! Don't get it twisted, this ain't Santa's (I know that song too, but whatever.) Sure, they host a bunch of different conferences and expos but we all know them for hosting the Youth Fair every spring. Buy a coupon, pay the full price, ride, don't ride, eat, come play token games, or just go shopping in Arnold Hall. It's the best place ever and so many of my fondest childhood memories arise from the Youth Fair being hosted here. Yeah, there's traffics and crowds with staggering prices and long lines but isn't that what we all love about Miami (takes sip of drank) and have grown to love?! read more
