You may think you don’t need to go. You may think you’re not missing anything. You are wrong. The LA County Fair has everything you didn’t know you were missing. This is seasonal so be sure to check the LA County Fair website (CLICK HERE) for dates and special events.
Arrive Early
You have to get there early. The picture from the featured picture of this article was taken around 12:30 pm PST. This crowd was significantly less than the crowd prior to leaving. The earlier you arrive the more opportunity to you have. You can eat what you want. You can also ride the rides you want to ride and not necessarily in that order.
Walk Around
The property is big. No, it’s bigger than that. There is ample room to ride the rides, play games, interact with the animals, and eat food. You can also buy things. You can buy pictures that will last a lifetime. You can also buy shirts and other merchandise to commemorate the 100-plus years of serving the community. This is a great opportunity to make sure you take advantage of the tickets you purchased closer to when you arrived.
Be Prepared
The year is 2022. Cash is treated like you want to give the business an I.O.U. Make sure you are aware that some of the businesses do not accept cash. Initially, this upset me. After all, the front of the dollar bill says “This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private. However, I understand the concern. Today I paid $20 for a chicken finger basket. I used the data from this transaction to calculate an hourly income in excess of $2,000 per hour per place of business. The large volume of business lends itself to conducting business via a means that limits the opportunity for theft so be prepared. That means cards or smartphone payments only. No cash.
Conclusion
Arrive early, walk around, and be prepared. Arriving early will reduce the amount of traffic at the fair. Walk around to find the rides, places to eat, and things to do with the fewest amount of people. When you’re prepared you can maximize your efficiency allowing for all the people involved to maximize their time.
