  Overall, my family has had good experiences at the fair in the past. This year, however, my family of four (husband, 8 year old, three year old and myself) were told we could not ride the Ferris wheel together as a family of four after waiting in line over 30 minutes. There are no signs posted about a maximum of 3 persons or a weight limit. We were told that it was a safety issues and the wheel had to be balanced. I spoke with the manager and he basically did nothing and explained about the weight having to be balanced. My husband weighs about 150, I weigh about 160, and our children may weigh 80 pounds together. These amounts combined would probably be less than the weight of 3 average size adults. Our children both have autism and that is not something we should have to disclose to ride a ride at the fair. Not being able to ride with both parents for supervision and safety purposes is not fair or legal. Signs should be posted for person amounts or weight limits and possibly a scale for persons getting on to ensure the weight balance is met. If this were the case we would have no issues with complying with posted rules and would have known the weight/person limit and forgone the rice altogether. Its 2021 and it’s sad that this is still happening. Yahoo County we need to do better to be better.

  Very reasonable on the wallet. Pay one price at the gate. I think it was $12.00 per head, $1.00 for seniors. This price included all rides. Free parking, plenty of security. Great experience.

  We have skipped the state fair the last two years and visited the Yazoo County Fair instead. No regrets! We spend a third of what we did at the state fair, and the atmosphere is so much nicer! We love the fact that it's on grass instead of asphalt - this makes it so much cooler than the state fair, which is usually hot and steamy. It isn't as big as the state fair, but the ride offerings are great! Loads of rides for the kids, and enough big rides that the older kids and adults have plenty to do, as well. Games are easier to win than the state fair and the prizes are the same. Not as many food trucks are there, but most all of the fair food items are covered, and the prices are way better than the state fair. 5 stars from our family!
