North Georgia State Fair

Rides aren't height friendly for the kiddos! Good
Is pricey so I wouldn't come crazy hungry other than the lines it was a fun time, go early!

Really fun experience!! Great for families too!

The parking situation was crazy so I'm glad we arrived an hour within opening. My friend parked at the South entrance which was a lot less crowded, I wish I had known about that one from the website. But the traffic controllers did a great job. It did take over 30min to get out of the parking lot unfortunately.

One tip for future goers is to bring a lot of cash! Parking is $5, and most food trucks only took cash. Also, they have a clear bag policy, or you can only bring a small wallet. Wear a hat/sunglasses/sunscreen!

The food was great! We got a chimney dog, corn, iced tea, pretzel, and more. Some food options are very expensive and there can be some waiting involved.

The selection of rides was pretty impressive, there were plenty for kids as well. Rides were 3-4 coupons each, and the cable car was 4 coupons.

Overall things seemed to be pretty organized and run well! Just get there early or you'll have to walk from a further parking lot!

I have been living in Atlanta for over 10 years and never checked out the State Fair. This year Yelp sponsored my entrance fee so I had to check it out.

Parking is $5. Nothing fancy- just a large dirt/grass area. Getting in was a breeze. I just had my electronic ticket scanned and my bag was checked my security.

Once I walked in I was overwhelmed with everything there was to do. I started out with the petting farm. After that I walked around and watched people play the games. One that was interesting was a challenge where you pay $10 and if you can successfully hang from a bar you get $200. I watched a child and a grown man unsuccessfully participate. However, it was good entertainment.

I also did try out a few of the food vendors on site. The Turkey leg was good and the mini donuts were too.

Overall I think this is a fantastic place for a date or a family outing. There is endless entertainment with rides, games and of course food!

I went to hear Josh Turner and he was great. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience wasn't. The traffic was crazy. It took over an hour just to go less than two miles! We spent more time trying to get into the fair than we did at the fair itself.
The food was SO overpriced and not even very good. 20 dollars for a turkey leg that was mostly bone and gristle. The same with the rest of the food.
It was so crowded, even on a weeknight, that just walking around was no fun. If you aren't going to go on rides, there's really nothing to do - not the tons of exhibits, vendors and animals of the fair I used to go to in MI.

I went to the Fair with my husband and two friends, and we had a really good time! I honestly didn't think I would like it, just from other fair experiences but it was a great one!

My ticket was free through Yelp Elite, but the price for my husband was super cheap. We purchased in advance, and a ticket was $7 and 21 ride tickets cost $11 (that allowed us to ride around 3 rides).

The fair was much larger than I expected. There were tons of rides, games, and food stands (and I do mean a lot of food options)! We got mozzarella sticks from one of the pizza stands, as well as fried Oreos, and both were yummy!

The best ride we did was the giant slide that you ride down on a blanket. It was fun and I wish we rode it earlier so we could have done it again :) We also liked riding the gondola, which was a good length.

I look forward to visiting the fair in future years!

We had a great time with the family. It was our first time going and we made some rooks mistakes. We have a toddler and kindergartener so we should've went first thing in the morning to 1) avoid the super long line to park and 2) long lines at rides in general. Also, being such a big fair, I thought there would've been more food options.

Every year in September my son and I look forward to visiting the fair. We definitely enjoyed ourselves this year, thanks to Yelp Elite. I was one of the contestant winners for 4 free passes and we were able to ride unlimited rides and get in free. We also went right when they open so that there wouldn't be a hassle of getting in. The lines weren't long at all, so that was a plus for us. My son was able to go on multiple rides, multiple times. The parking cost is $5 so be prepared to have cash. I had an awesome time. I can't wait for next year.

This fair has been around for a long time and y'all don't have this traffic/parking crap under control yet!! Other big attractions that happen like the Braves game is handle WAY better than this. This is ridiculous, sitting in traffic for hours, people blowing, cutting people off. All this damn money they make from this fair every year it comes, needs to be directing traffic not just at the entrance of the fair. Losing money from people going back home and not being able to even get in. That sucks!! Wrecks are happening, causing more issues. Traffic needs to be directed. Then no refunds for tickets u got. Get it together fix that crap!! People are walking from publix like come on. It's not enough parking!! Figure this shit out!! Its damn near 11million people here in this state and half of that is going to the fair.

First, let me start this by saying the director, Tod Miller, is one of the rudest most unprofessional people I've ever met. I was working as weekend help for one of the vendors, and I needed assistances. The first words he said to me were "who are you? Get out of my face". Then when I explained the issue, he replied "well that's your problem for being unprepared". I'd like to point out, it was day 11 of an 11 day event, when the fair decided to enforce the rules of all vendors/ vendor workers having a plastic pass. As a weekend floater, I was not given a pass nor asked for one prior.
I had worked two weekends without any issues. However, on day 11, they made me pay $10 for a ticket and threw my unopened water bottles away. The check bag employee actually yelled at me for brining them in, when it's been against the rules for 25 years!!!
If you are a potential vendor, I would stay far away from this event. It's shocking to know you can PAY to have a tent, and you or an employee of yours get treated like an inconvenience if help is needed. I'm not a medical professional, but it's my personal opinion Tod has some very deep rooted anger issues, and possibly mommy issues with the way he finds it appropriate to talk to females. The aggression and anger in his tone was truly disturbing. It truly felt in our very brief interaction, he unleashed all of his bottled up hate for his name being spelled incorrectly, and directed it at me. Seeing that I'm less than half his age, his over the top emotions were completely misplaced. I hope he finds the therapist he so desperately needs to work on his attitude toward humans in general. I should've expected this, because his own employee told me "you can talk to Tod, but it's not going to be pretty", and after he witnessed our conversation, he looked back at me and said "I tried to warn you".
It must be such a lonely life to be such a miserable person to everyone from employees to strangers.
Let's all pray for 1 D Tod, he really needs it.

Great, location, not far from too far from ATL. Well, I took my kids here for their birthday. Great food and services, but, the rides.... Most of them are for little kids and some are just too crazy for me! My daughter waited in line for a whole hour to go on a ride but some people wanted to give her money and cut in front of her. She said no, but they kept asking. That took like 10 minutes. One it was finally her turn, she dropped her earring because of all the spinning. We will go to a different fair net time.
