The same carnival rides you loved during your childhood—plus plenty of modern additions—are a highlight for guests of all ages that come to the state fair. Whether you prefer rides that will test your fear factor or those that are more “chill” than “thrill,” there’s a Twister, Wacky Worm, or Galaxy Coaster for you. Other returning favorites include the Monkey Maze, Freestyle, and appropriately named OMG—something for every age and level of fear (and fun) factor. Bring your family for fair fun!

Then check out The Edible Journey presented by Purdue University and learn how food gets from the earth to the table. And Rock U: The Institute of Rock ‘n’ Roll, a tour through the ages of rock and how we listened, from the stereo console, through the 8-track, cassettes, vinyl and (gasp) the Walkman. Explore the British Invasion, take a walk down memory lane with Shaun Cassidy, and tap your feet on the Big Keyboard.

All attraction times and dates are subject to change.

Great American Petting Zoo

All your petting zoo favorites are at the Great American Petting Zoo presented by the Maricopa County Fair! Stop by the Cattle Barn for the entire run of the Arizona State Fair and check out ducks, llamas, donkeys, deer, chickens, pigs, and the Australian wallaby. Included with Arizona State Fair admission.

Kerr’s Farm Tours

The farm comes to life in the middle of the city at Kerr’s Farm Tours, located in the west side of the Agriculture Center. Both entertaining and educational, this farm experience puts you up close with baby chickens, goats and other animals you would expect to see on the farm. Many of today’s farms integrate technology to operate more efficiently. Displays of antique and modern farm equipment make it easy to see how farmers help feed the growing population of over 6 million people in Arizona alone. The Kerr’s Farm Tour is proudly brought to you by Arizona Milk Producers.
