That's fine for you, the adult, but the kids are gonna wanna go to Disney.

I remember going to the state fair growing up, and it was excruciatingly boring waiting for the adults to finish looking at cows and trinkets. Whereas our family's trip to Disney was tailor-made for kids from start to finish, and honestly features pretty prominently among my favorite all-time memories.

To each their own! I loved the county fair as a child. But I wasn't much of a Disney kid anyways (unless we count properties that have since been absorbed into the Disney IP universe).

sheet, I remember being eight, and a tractor pull would have been just about the best thing ever. And I grew up twenty minutes from Disneyland. Loved it as a kid, but also loved the Pomona Fairgrounds -- LA County Fair -- and the drag strip

Yeah, IDK what County/State Fairs people here are talking about.

I often went to the Boulder County Fair in grad school and that had a Demolition Derby, which my kid would love.
