The Family Planet is a designated area at the fair featuring fun and educational programs and activities for kids, youth, families and educators. It’s a wonderful world full of workshops, presentations, music, entertainment, crafts, games, activities and more!
Stroller parking available, restrooms, REAL Food Market, Main Stage and water dispenser near-by. We ask that you enjoy the Family Planet with your children. Because kids love their parents to be close when a knee gets skinned, all children must be accompanied by an adult. No drop-offs.
