"Our carnival midway has more than 70
rides and attractions, from the carousel to the Mega Drop, and the
Mega Pass lets you ride them all, from morning until the park closes
or until your stomach can't take any more," said Amy Bliefnick,
state fair manager. "The state fair has always been a
family-friendly event, and the Mega Pass is just one way we ensure
people get the most for their dollar."
The Illinois State Fair Mega Pass is
available June 1 through
July 16 for $50 at the Emmerson Building, located on Main Street
north of Ethnic Village on the state fairgrounds. Office hours are
weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and the office will be open on
Saturday, July 16.
