The State Fair of Texas just got cheaper for families.

On Monday, the State Fair nonprofit organization said it is lowering admission and parking prices this year.

According to the release, "following feedback from fairgoers during the 2025 season, the State Fair took a comprehensive look at the total cost of attending."

The organization added, "This year, we are making meaningful changes to admission and parking while continuing to offer the experiences, traditions, and attractions our guests look forward to every fall."

The new changes include the following:

  • $10 admission for kids every day.
  • $2 price reduction on all "Adult Daily Tickets."
  • $10 admission for everyone after 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday.

Parking in official State Fair parking lots is now $25, which is $5 less than in 2025.

The fair begins in September at Fair Park in Dallas.
