Becky 🍭💀🎀 BuderOctober 3, 2013Crowded with a lot of ignorant folks...but it's always great to see the items and try the food!!! And the hilarious shirts and stuff :)
Lauren GroverSeptember 23, 2014Shop around for kettle corn on the Avenue of States. Prices vary by a few bucks each way, and the flavors are dramatically different at each booth.
Patricia GuimaraesSeptember 28, 2013Texas pulled pork baked potato between Connecticut house and New Hampshire House is the BEST! Way better than Maine baked potato!
Walt FrancisSeptember 27, 2014Make sure to visit building on the Avenue of States to get a taste of New England delights from each state- Lauren GroverSeptember 23, 2014The maple cotton candy from the Massachusetts building has the best combination of maple flavor and fine texture.
Catherine PappasSeptember 14, 2010The best fair every September. Try all the great foods - Cream Puffs, Craz-E Burgers, fried jelly beans and more!!! Concerts, crafts, exhibits, shopping - lots to see and do!
Laura Braun PadenSeptember 23, 2012Fried cheese curds ! The best ! Huge cream puffs ! And they have a display that you can watch little chicks hatch ! So cool !
Brett GarwoodJuly 12, 2015Baked Potato FTW. Maple cotton candy was interesting. Try all the food and then run 10 miles.
Natasha WSeptember 30, 2010My god so much doing on...Make sure you go during the week when all of the kids are in school! Other then that is tons of fun! Maine baked potato and lobster role are the winners!
Josh PataoSeptember 17, 2013Buy a wristband if you plan on riding any rides. You can buy individual tickets, but everything good costs around 5 tickets!
SerenitySeptember 23, 2012Get the maple bacon ice cream in the CT building towards the back. It's called JFosters they sell out quickly. Bangin!!
Chelsea NortonSeptember 28, 2012If you make it to the Maine building, try the Maine baked potatoes. But be prepared to wait in line for a little bit!
Lisa PorterSeptember 23, 2014Good food and definitely lots to do! Definitely check this off your list!- SerenitySeptember 23, 2012Try the Apple Crisp beer by the State buildings. SAMs brewery - bangin!!!
Remlee GreenSeptember 24, 2011The Circus Museum & "Circus Around the Clock" poster exhibit are fabulous!! And, of course, fried anything is good!
Stay hydrated! You can find $1 bottles of water in many of the state buildings...don't pay the redonk $2.50-$3 many of the fair vendors charge.
Diane FranciscoJune 28, 2012Love that place and I lived across the street from gate 7 and went almost every day durning the big E
Anthony GarciaSeptember 23, 2012Connecticut building chocolate covered bacon. And peanut butter pizza MUST HAVE!!!- Get the best sleep every night with an Airmax pillow; find them in the Young building. I love it!
SupahFans StreetwearMay 18, 2012Be sure to visit our SupahFans booth The Massachusetts Building on Massachusetts Day in September.
Matt CSeptember 20, 2011If you're feeling like a heart attack, you can't go wrong with the deep fried Oreos. Mmmmmmmm
Tasha Hiraldo-PetersenSeptember 30, 2012The grilled cheese melt in the Massachusetts building is amazing!!
Steve FatSeptember 25, 2011Get a big spud, and be sure to take a dump right infront of the line. They Love It When You Do That!
Hire more parking attendants please, waiting over an hour is just wrong since you charge $10 to park!
Michael F ChandlerSeptember 17, 2012I am in New England Center from 830 am to 4 pm come see me at Deaf Booth!
Shannon EastonSeptember 17, 2011Go to AT&T tent outside 9A to enter for a trip to France & the grand prix. Plus free goodies!
- Chelsea NortonSeptember 28, 2012Connecticut building has chocolate covered bacon. Definitely try it.
Voravut RatanakommonAugust 26, 2009Go stuff your face with New England's best food. Go ride the rides until you puke & eat some more. Plus you can go pet a goat & see an 80's hair band.
Nicholas StoneSeptember 26, 2014Don't get fooled by the ticket scam! 55 tix = $60. Wrist bands for 2 to ride all night = $56. Get the wristbands.
Brent BanghartNovember 4, 2010If you want some really good New England food bring lots of money and hit up the Avenue of States!!!
Try a baked potato, lobster roll or a wicked whoopie pie in the Maine building! Yum!
Laura J.September 25, 2011Visit Connecticut for chocolate covered bacon and Maine for baked potatoes
Don't miss the CT building and the... Oh, there's nothing there.- I prefer the baked potatoes from a stand called Billy's Baked Potatoes over the ones from the Maine building.
