By now I’m sure many of you have already visited the Fair at least once, but for those of you who haven’t taken the time to #DARETOFAIR, continue reading as I go over the top 5 things to do at the 2016 LA County Fair.
\n1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Indulge \u2013 We love food and know you do too! \"\"With such concoctions as deep-fried hot sauce, chicken <\/span>IN<\/em> waffles (served on a stick), spaghetti ice cream, guacamole balls \u2013 battered and fried, bacon-wrapped everything and the belly-buster Krispy Kreme triple cheeseburger, take the day off and eat. Don\u2019t fight it. The Fair only comes around once a year.<\/span>
\n2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Roar! \u2013 The LA County Fair takes you back 65 million years with life-sized dinosaurs roaming the hillside behind the Flower & Garden Pavilion. Jurassic Planet<\/em> features 35 animatronic creatures from the mighty T-Rex to the lovable Maiasaura, so realistic you\u2019ll truly think you\u2019ve stepped back in time. Everyone becomes amateur paleontologists with a dino dig pit and fossil hunting. A real paleontologist is on hand to answer any and all questions. A nominal admission fee required for ages 6 and older.
\n3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 OUR BODY: The Universe Within \u2013 Go under the skin of human anatomy \u2013 literally! \u2013 with this fascinating, educational exhibit of 200 uniquely preserved human specimens offering a vibrant, 3D view of our bodies usually reserved just for doctors.
\n4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Igloo \u2013 Chill-out in our Arctic Village with Polar Ice Rink* and Penguin Sled Run* made with real ice and snow!\u00a0 Shop the Arctic Promenade for cool products and come back after 6pm for an all-ages dance party featuring DJ Cool and periodic snow storms.\u00a0 *. A nominal admission fee required for ages 6 and older.
\n\"\"5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Farm \u2013 One of the favorite attractions at the LA County Fair, The Farm features a five-acre organic urban garden and the Big Red Barn, home to familiar and not-so-familiar barnyard critters. Children (and adults) love hanging out with our sheep, pigs, goats, chickens and cows.
