Explore the livestock barns and meet animals up close. There's nothing more "County Fair" than the food, and the Pima County Fair has it all: funnel cakes, onion rings, and Indian fry bread. There's something for every sweet tooth and savory delight.

The fair is mostly outdoors, so dress for Tucson's sunny and warm (HOT!) April weather—light layers, sunscreen, and comfy shoes are a must.

You can bring a water bottle and a small bag, but note that all bags will be searched when you enter the fairgrounds.
