I've been going to the fair since I was 5 years old. I use to show horses as a kid. Prices have been going up year after year. I do not remember what it cost two years ago, but this year was $10 a person this year, including children. Cost $40 to get in. Less rides, fewer vendors, and fewer exhibits. They use to have bands back in the day...the stage is gone now. No more Apple pie sales :( . I did notice a lot fewer exhibits. I have never seen so many blue ribbons...guess they don't give out red and white anymore....

Would give 0 stars if I could. Show up at 10am and nothing is ready and open, everything opens later. Absolutely useless charging people to get in when there is nothing to do at 10am. Vendors aren't even ready upon opening, still setting up shops, very unprofessional and lazy. Advertise that rides do not open until 1pm, that is ridiculous... 3 hrs after opening and then rides open and NOWHERE does it say 1pm, total waste of money and a morning. Disappointed for our first experience at a New York fair after moving... wont be...
