    Try to find the fried guacamole...only 1 booth has it, but it is the best fried fair food I've ever had. The fried beer was revolting, I wanted to spit it up on the carny that sold it to me

    Cheapest non-beer beverages are near the front gate: $1 bottled water/soda at the Women's Museum and $1 water at DAR House. Take a look around while you're there!

    Visit the Museum of Nature & Science while you're at the State Fair. Science building admission is FREE and nature building admission is just $1 w/ State Fair admission. Lots to explore!

    It’s a must see for Texans and for all Americans. Entry prices are good. Food prices are a mixed bag. Food is mostly solid. Entertainment is everywhere. You’ll have fun for sure. It’s big.

    If you're in Dallas from late September to mid-October, head to the State Fair for food, concerts, animal rides, flower shows and a 200-foot-tall ferris wheel.

    Clog your arteries with whatever outrageous fried thing they're serving... this year, it's fried butter. (Last year, it was fried Coke.)

    Do not get the fried beer, its absolutely a huge waste of money... fried cookie dough, oreos, and cheesecake are awesome.

    Buy a corn dog at the Fletcher's stand near Big Tex. Wait for Big Tex to wave and say "HOWDY, FOLKS!" Consider waving back.
