Kiwanis Ogeechee Fairgrounds — Local services in Statesboro

The fair is super fun, $25 gets you a stamp for all day access to the rides except a few, like the bull ride. Typical tastey fair food like turkey legs ($6 by gate 3, more expensive by the rides), funnel cakes (again, cheaper by gate 3), and delicious smoothies from Key West Smoothies by the rides (only $5 for a good sized small!) Biggest issues we ran into was the lack of seating and the lack of shade provided. It wasn't due to lack of space either; it was there. Both my mother and myself have medical issues and need to sit often and can't be in the sun for lengthy periods of time. Obviously we made due and had fun. More options for covered seating, especially by the rides would be great...but other than that it was a fantastic time. It was a tad disappointing that the entertainment didn't start until later in the day when we left; it would be nice to have some earlier options since we all pay the same fee, especially on a Saturday. My entire family enjoyed themselves regardless and we definitely plan on coming...

Fun experience but the price was way to much to enter which did not include your balloon ride and then you had to pay for almost everything inside as well. You can easily drop $200 with 2 adults and 1 child in there in about 2 to 3 hours. Nice to see balloons and light show. Website info needs to be updated because we drove along way to do this and only discovered the extra charges while there. It was like $55 just to enter. Balloon rides were $25 each and kids i thank $15..which is going up and coming down which was reasonable. Alot of food available but the food was very pricy. (Like almost $15-$20 for a meal and dink) The entrance fee was the thing that shocked us! Games were available which was $5 and $8 each to play. Those were fun. Thanks for the experience. We probably won't be back due to the high entrance fee charges. Just...

For starters the prices were absolutely outrageous and that was the least of the issues. While standing in line for the first ride and water bottle flew from a ride and struck my friend standing next to me in the head. The opporators of the ride were completely neglegent and did not ensure that riders were secure in their seats. They were also messing around with control stand flipping switches and laughing while the ride was running. The only people who were nice and seemed to care about doing their jobs were the medical aid people who checked out my friends head. If anyone is ever debating going to the fair I highly...
