State Fair, which is held annually in Sacramento, is an amazingly It is a ton of fun each year to go to, but I wouldn’t make it a monthly excursion.Ĭheck out the California State Fair if you are in the Sacramento area and let me know what you think in the comments. Directions: Capitol City Freeway (Business 80) (North). We all agreed that it’s good the fair only comes around once a year. I rode it so I could get a lay of the land, and it was a nice ride that showcased how big the fairgrounds were.Īfter about 3 hours and $100, the three of us left the fair and headed on to our next stop in Sacramento. Lastly, there was a monorail that took you around the entire fair. I didn’t win, but it was fun.Īlso, I am always a fan of riding the giant slide with whoever I go with, so the three of us rode the giant slide here as well, and Amie won the race (I think she cheated though). There were many other things you could do, but we skipped most of them this time.Īfter walking around, we headed over to the amusement rides to finish our time at the fair.Įven though I know I won’t win, I still like dropping a few bucks at the fair games to try and shoot a basketball or throw darts. You can also pet the animals, ride the ponies, and go on a monster truck ride. You can shop in the air conditioned buildings for trinkets and As-Seen-On-TV products. Like the other fairs you have probably been to, the California State Fair has many of the same attractions. I ate most of it, but I would not recommend spending the $10. I can say that, after having it, it was not great. As you can tell, you don’t go to the fair for health food.ĭeep Fried Watermelon – This was the last item we tried, and I figured it would not be great before I even ordered it. ![]() Both my friend Jerrod and I got it, and both of us thought it was terrific. They dip the corn in butter then roll it in Hot Cheetos it is as simple as that. It was a nice subtle sweet flavor and a pleasant crunch that made it an enjoyable sandwich.įried Zucchini – Amie just went with the fried zucchini for her meal, and she enjoyed it, but what is not to like about a deep fried vegetable?Ĭorn on the Cob with Hot Cheetos – This is the one I really wanted to try as I love Hot Cheetos, and I love corn. Basically, they take crumbled up Captain Crunch cereal and use it to cover the chicken patty as it cooks. It had a good combination of sweet and savory, and while I wouldn’t order it as my meal, it was much better then I thought it would be.Ĭaptain Crunch Chicken Sandwich – This sandwich caught my eye because it was unique. My friend ordered it this year, and I have to say I was actually impressed. I have seen this at previous fairs but never took the time to try it. There were three of us, and we all tried to find unique items to eat.įirst off was the Krispy Kreme donut burger. It was lunchtime, so our first stop was at the food. Be sure to grab a map as it is a large area, and you want to be able to see it all. We grabbed tickets online, so we skipped the line and headed right into the fair. I am not sure who had them first, but I was surprised to see them when I walked up. The entrance has the same California letters that you can find outside of California Adventure in Disneyland. On the weekend, I would recommend getting there early as the parking lot can fill up fast. From there, you will pay your parking fee and make your way around the lot to the first available parking spot.Īfter parking, we started the long walk to the entrance. ![]()
