“The Mega Pass is one of the best bargains at the Illinois State Fair,” said State Fair Manager Kevin Gordon. “A Mega Pass is a ticket to unlimited rides and excitement during all eleven days of the 2017 Fair. It really is the perfect gift for the special someone on your holiday shopping list.”
The Mega Pass can be used on rides in Adventure Village and the Carnival Midway. In 2016, the Carnival Midway featured more than 30 thrill seeking rides, including two new rides to the Illinois State Fair. One of which was the Mega Drop, which sends riders on a 130-foot plunge straight to the ground! In Adventure Village, fairgoers got to experience more than 15 kid-friendly rides, including one new ride, the Charlie Chopper.
Mega Passes will be on sale from November 1 all the way through the fair. However, it’s important to note that while the Mega Pass can be purchased throughout the year, this holiday sale will feature the lowest prices of the season. The price will increase to $70 on January 1, then again to $90 on August 1st.
