“What a great time we had at the Capital Fair 2023, with our 9-year-old son! His smiles from ear to ear the whole time we were there were absolutely PRICELESS!!
We truly went for the rides… BUT there is SO much more to see and do there!!! They have A LOT of activities and rides for little ones (toddlers and up). Ride the ponies and a small petting zoo where you can feed the goats and alpacas. Well done to all involved in making the Fair what it was this year.”

“Good fair to go to in August, especially if you’re an arm wrestler or have your own family. Great activities for people of all ages, especially families with young children.
