Yesterday as we headed out to the Ohio State Fair with our entire family I was thinking about how much money it would take to keep the kids entertained all day. We knew the admission price and wristbands for the kids to ride all day were a great deal but I found so much more for FREE at the Fair!
As we began our adventure through the main gate, I was keeping my eyes open for low-cost and free options for the kids. I didn’t have to look very far! The first building we encountered was the Youth Center and I was impressed to find that they not only had some great project displays, but interactive activities from OSU Physics and youth organizations such as the Scouts and Grange.
When we finally left there, we saw the goat playground and checked out some great mobile tours from Lego and Chiquita. We eventually did make it over to the midway and after only a few rides we found the Sinbad High Dive Show (which is FREE to watch). The kids weren’t the only ones amazed as I was astonished that the performers dive from a platform 80 foot in the air into a pool of water only 10 foot deep!
We watched the pig races and stopped by the petting zoo and before we knew it the kids were wore out. With NBC4 Family Value Day coming up tomorrow, I think it will be the perfect opportunity to bring the kids back out. With these great deals I may even be brave enough to let them bring a friend!
