School Days, School Days

Each weekday of the Fair, thousands of school children rush through the gates of the Fair for an experience they won’t forget. Our FairKids Discovery Club field trip program is a hands-on one-of-a-kind adventure. And it complies with the state Department of Education curriculum standards.
Today is a big day – more than 13,000 students are visiting the Fair, including FairView Farms, Going Green, Jurassic Planet and the Flower & Garden Pavilion. I saw many kids out there this morning taking notes in Going Green, obviously preparing for in-class discussions they will have when they return to school.
Last year more than 100,000 students and their chaperones visited the Fair. We hope it is more this year.
