Know Before You Go

Parking areas are first come, first serve. If a General Parking area is full, guests will be rerouted to the closest available General Parking area.
Oversized vehicles, such as RVs, are not permitted. Vehicles must be no longer than 27 feet, so they are able to fit in a single parking space.
Parking fees apply to motorcycles as well as vehicles. Motorcycles have a designated parking area in the Main Lot.
Free trams run continuously, delivering guests to the O’Brien Gate (main Fair entrance).
Every lot, both on-site and off-site, has parking for disabled guests. Trams and shuttles are equipped for wheelchairs and guests with disabilities.
No smoking, drinking or eating on the trams and shuttles.
