TEXAS! Save this before you pay full price for the State Fair.🎡 Here are the 2026 admission hacks I found: OPENING DAY — SEPT. 25 Bring 2 jars of peanut butter per person for the North Texas Food Bank = $10 admission at the gate. WEDNESDAYS Bring 5 canned food items per person before 5 PM = $7 admission. TUESDAYS + THURSDAYS Big Tex Insider Value Days = $12 online with the promo code. SENIORS 60+ Thursdays = $7 at the gate. MILITARY + FIRST RESPONDERS Get $5 off admission every day with qualifying ID/documentation. TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, GRADES 9–12 Get $12 admission Monday–Thursday online with promo code 2026EDU. KIDS 3–12 Admission is $10 every day. Ages 2 and under are free. AFTER 5 PM Adults and seniors can get in for $10 Monday–Thursday and $20 Friday–Sunday. McDONALD’S Participating North Texas locations offer coupons for $5 off adult admission. DART / GOPASS Check the GoPass app for a promo code for $5 off a 1-Day FLEX ticket. CHECK YOUR JOB Participating employers may offer discounted $20 FLEX tickets. SCHOOL DISTRICT TICKETS Some participating school districts provide free admission tickets for students and qualifying school staff. TEXAS DISCOVERY GARDENS MEMBERS Membership can include one day of free State Fair admission Monday–Thursday, depending on membership level. GOING MORE THAN ONCE? There’s also a discounted digital season pass option, which may save you money if you plan to visit multiple times. Save this and send it to your State Fair crew. We are not paying full price in 2026. #statefair #texas #CityTasteTest #hacks #savingstips
