Family & Kids Fun

The Riley Fun Park is a smoke-free family entertainment area that is open daily from 10 am - 7 pm and includes something for everyone.

LITTLE HANDS ON THE FARM presented by CollegeChoice 529 Investment Plan - Kids can be a farmer for a day at the Fair. Little Hands on the Farm is a fully interactive agriculture partnership for kids age 3 to 12. The layout includes six mini-barns, a grain silo and a garden. Take the winding path to the different areas, from the starting point to pick up their supplies to the grocery store to buy their food.

THE WONDER TRAIL - The Indiana State Fair Wonder Trail is an exciting new family adventure for elementary and middle school age children and their parents. Check-in at one of three locations on the Fairgrounds: the information booth located on Expo Hall Street, the Riley Fun Park Kids Clubhouse, or the Barn Van located near the midway. To get started, simply fill-out a short registration form, then pick up your own souvenir lanyard, a 3-D illustrated Trail Map, and a magnifying glass. Once you have your tools, you’re ready to start The Wonder Trail and explore all the amazing wonders of the Great Indiana State Fair!

KIDS DAY: Monday, Aug. 13 - Children are our favorite guests here at the Fair, so we have created an extra special day just for them. This year's games and activities will be centered around corn. Children can participate in many different games including dress like corn relay race, a water relay race, corn cob toss, corn shelling relay, and much more.
