Editorial Review for Puyallup Fair – by Citysearch Editors
The Appeal
The mother of Washington state fairs spans more than two weeks and a staggering variety of interests. From the famous scones with raspberry jam to the 180-foot-tall Extreme Scream ride, the Puyallup Fair is one diversion that makes a trip worthwhile. Since its inception in 1900, the fair has grown from a three-day showcase for livestock and home arts to a 17-day extravaganza that draws 1.2 million people for midway rides, rodeos, commercial exhibitions, concerts from big-name performers and more. The agricultural element remains prominent, with ample space given to 4-H and FFA exhibits.
The Experience
Your entry fee will buy you access to all the exhibits, from the fair's finest pygmy goats to the hobby hall where collectors display their various amassments. Rides cost extra, as does admission to concerts.

You have music, food, games, and activities all in one place at the same time. Come for the concerts, the scones, the cotton candy, the barbecue. Whatever it is, this is a whole lot of fun for the whole family and at an affordable price too.
Pros: good food, great music, attractions
Cons: parking, crowded
