April 7, 2024 Trip Report

Story

Shortly before noon, we went to the Miami-Dade County Fair. The fair was unlike anything we have in Utah. It was giant. They had more than 80 rides. Granted, they were smaller than an amusement park, but it was still quite impressive. We rode a handful of rides until I got motion sick. Then Tara and Madi rode most of the rest of the rides without me. 

We got a whole day pass with unlimited rides for $40 per person, which we thought was a great deal. We also watched several shows including a circus, a motorcycle act, and some acrobats. 

Until about 5:00, there were almost no lines for any of the rides, so we got to ride pretty much all of them with no wait. Then when it got busy, we were too cheap to pay carnival prices for dinner, so we took off.
