The Orange County Fair

This year’s theme, “It’s Callin’ You Out to Play” offers 21 days and nights of music, food, games, exhibits and fun. Check out a new section of the Fair just for kids, Kids’ Park, where kids can participate in all-day games, contests and activities for free (with cost of admission). Risk brain freeze to see if you can eat ice cream the fastest, or help a magician make a rabbit disappear. Don’t forget the carnival rides, midway games, clowns, cotton candy, giant turkey legs, cool exhibits by kids, petting zoos and more. Kids Days are Tuesdays–get in for free all day if you are under the age of 12! Admission: adults $8, children (6-12) $4, and kids ages 5 and under are free. Closed Mondays. When: July 8-31: Where: Orange County Fairgrounds, Costa Mesa. (714) 708-3247. www.ocfair.com/ocf
