Wednesday, Day 3: New Jersey State Fair Sussex County, NJ.
My step-father is very into farms and animals having at their place a pony, a horse, 5 dogs, pheasants, and chickens (yes crazy, but really fun to visit especially for the kids). As an enthusiast, he visits lots of the county fairs at this time of year. His favorite by far is the New Jersey Fair which is going on this week so we took a trip!
It’s a little over an hour away from Rockland and if you plan to go, make sure that you go early and stay for the day. There is so much to see and do! There are tons of animals to see and touch, refreshments galore, a circus, pig races, local art, an old machine house where you can see old fashioned machines at work, tractors, rides (live and also carnival style), monster truck rides, live music, and a feeding zoo complete with its own giraffe!
- Kids 5 and under are free, there is senior and veteran discounts.
- Bathrooms are clean and monitored.
- Bring your maneuverable stroller again, there are hills and bumps in some areas.
- Many of the attractions are free including the circus and petting zoo (you need to buy the food though to feed the animals) :o)
- Wear good walking shoes you will be on your feet a long time.
- There are ATMS if you should need one.
