Getting Around & Seeing the Fairgrounds by MSF Staffer - TCD
Category:Attractions & Exhibits
SkyGlider
It's a nice way to get back and forth from the North end of the Fairgrounds. You can get on at Dan Patch Ave. between the Butterfly House & Grandstand Plaza and get off on Murphy Ave. near the Pet Center and vice versa. Worth the ticket if you've got tired feet or exhausted kids!
Skyride
Another great way to get around & see the sights. The gondolas run East & West. Get on near the Agriculture Horticulture Building and get off on Dan Patch Ave. near Heritage Square and back again. Again worth the price of the ticket, especially on very crowded days.
Trolleys
The Trolleys are a nice way to get back and forth to the North End as well. You could get on at Visitors Plaza on Dan Patch Ave. and take it as far North as the Pet Center on Murphy Ave. and back again. Best part? FREE!
Space Tower
You don't get AROUND the Fairgrounds but you sure get a chance to SEE all of the Fairgrounds. It's a fun way to check everything out - sometimes you find something you missed!

Top 4 Places to Explore by MSF Staffer - Alex
Category:Favorite Places
International Bazaar
I love the Bazaar because it reminds me of a (much more compact) world market. There are so many vendors selling unique, hand-made goods and there's cuisine representing cultures all over the world. I can't wait to get a Mediterranean lemonade, buy some jewelry, and see Dosh & Maria Isa perform this year!
CHS Miracle of Birth Center
There's nothing that brightens a girl's day quite like adorable baby animals.
Fine Arts Building
I love that in the midst of food, fun and all of the other attractions, there's an art gallery!
Agriculture Horticulture Building
Besides the beautiful gardens that surround this building, I love looking at the entries for the flowers, fruit and wine competitions.
