Missouri State Fairgrounds

Justin Lindsey

Went for our first time this year. Found free parking, enjoyed viewing all the crafts, vegetables, equipment and farm animals. The rides seemed much safer than your average city carnival and most of the staff seemed friendly. There was a sufficient state police presence which made me feel safer with my family. The beer garden seemed fun and had a great band. I found the food and drinks to be overpriced. I saw camper hookup options. Rides had full day wristband options or tokens on a card. My family attended the evening show which had good sound unless you seat in the back because you can hear the shelter rattle. I'd go back again, you can spend a full day here.

I spent Saturday, August 16, at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia and had a good time. The Beef House served up tasty, filling food with friendly service, making it a solid spot to grab a meal. The Tiger Stripe ice cream was a nice, refreshing treat. Browsing the local crafts was fun, with a cool variety of handmade items that added a community vibe. I enjoyed walking around to check out the variety of animals on display—bunnies, horses, cattle, and petting zoo animals—which gave a real feel for Missouri’s farming roots. I also liked sampling some local wine, which was surprisingly smooth and added a nice touch to the day. Later, I watched the Draft Horse Show, and it was an absolute must-see, with those huge horses showing off their strength and flare. The fair had a relaxed, friendly feel, perfect for a day out. I’d likely go back next year.

I've been to over 10 state fairs and this one was really relaxing and laid-back. I enjoyed wondering and watching the different shows I really love the Chicago Honey Bears. There singing and dancing was contagious. Well worth going to the fair for fun and entertainment. Out of all the fairs this one pushed the rides the most and seemed most realistic in pricing.

Setting up a concession trailer for the opening of the Missouri State Fair. While walking around the fairgrounds it's absolutely beautiful. The old buildings look to be well maintained in architecture and style.
