Taking Toddlers and Babies to the Indiana State Fair

Is There Food or Drink for My Baby at the Fair?

If you have a sippy cup or bottle, the Dairy Barn will fill them for free! Our little ones love eating at the Dairy Barn but if you have teeny ones, you’ll want to pack and bring your own food. Plan for hot temperatures and keep those foods cool!

Is the Indiana State Fair Stroller and Wagon Friendly?

We bring our stroller and wagon every single year. You won’t have a problem using it anywhere really. In fact, if you’d rather, you can rent a stroller or wagon at the Indiana State Fair! Stroller: $5 Half Day/ $10 Full Day. Wagon: $10 Half Day/ $15 Full Day.

Is There Anything Fun For Little Ones?

ANIMALS! Take your babies to see the animals and to feed the animals! The Pioneer Village is so much fun for kids to see, the entertainment at the Family Fun Park is fantastic AND, Little Hands on the Farm is adorable. My littles love spotting and taking photos with all of the mascots. Here are some more FREE things to do with kids at the Indiana State Fair.

Food and beverages are permitted but not if they are alcoholic or in glass. Bring those baby bottles and snacks and packed lunches! You can bring bags in so diaper bags are fine! All bags are subject to searches.
