Mega Passes Available for State Fair

If you love carnival rides, the Illinois State Fair has a special deal to consider.  

The Mega Pass is a ticket for an unlimited number of rides in Adventure Village and the Carnival Midway all ten days of the fair plus Preview Night.  It can be purchased right now at the Mega Pass Office, which is located in the Emmerson Building on the Illinois State Fairgrounds, for $65.  Beginning Monday, Aug. 5, however, the price will increase to $75. 

The office is open Monday through Friday, except holidays, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.  It accepts cash and credit cards, but not personal checks.   

Admission Booklets also are available for purchase in the Mega Pass Office. Each booklet contains ten admissions to the fair and is a great addition to a Mega Pass purchase. An adult
booklet costs $45.  A booklet for children and senior citizens costs $20.

Mega Passes do not include admission to the fair or rides on the Tram, Giant Slide and Sky Glide.
