What to do with a Preschooler at the LA County Fair

Heading to the LA County Fair? We just went, and I'm sharing our favorite activities for preschoolers and toddlers!

Thank you to the LA County Fair for sponsoring this post.Heading to the LA County Fair? We just went, and I'm sharing our favorite activities for preschoolers and toddlers!If you follow along on our Instagram Stories, then you know that Lydia and I spent Sunday afternoon at the LA County Fair.  It was actually the first time I'd ever been, and I got a TON of messages asking about the best things to do at the fair with toddlers and preschoolers.  I wanted to share a few of our favorite fair activities (along with our tips for must eats — cause who doesn't love fair food?).  We are always looking for family things to do in LA, and this was a great day activity!Heading to the LA County Fair? We just went, and I'm sharing our favorite activities for preschoolers and toddlers!

The Best Toddler and Preschooler Activities at the LA County Fair:

  1. The Farm: It's not a real fair experience without farm animals, right!?! The Farm is filled with multiple buildings and exhibits that are perfect for showing LA city kids what life outside of the concrete jungle is really like.  We saw cows, goats, sheep, practiced roping, and even bought fresh milk (they sell both regular and chocolate over ice…..perfect for hot days).  We loved seeing the Dairy Education Center, and visiting the horses in the Equine center.
  2. The Igloo: Want a little time to cool off? The Igloo has indoor ice skating and a sledding hill! (and the ice skating is only $5)!
  3. Wonderland: A Floral Fairy Tale: This was my favorite (and Lydia's favorite) part of the whole fair.  These stunning floral exhibits all centered around an Alice in Wonderland theme.  The exhibit winds through an exhibit hall (with air conditioning) and an outdoor atrium.  We loved see the colorful floral exhibits and Lydia loved spotting all her favorite characters.
  4. Carnival: Carnival rides and games are an LA County Fair classic, and a must do.  This year they have a whole section with rides for little kids and Lydia LOVED them.  The colorful train was her favorite, it's super cute and not too fast.  If you've got a daredevil, the hot air balloons twist and turn at a rapid pace.  They also sell Carnival wristbands that allow you to access unlimited rides (a great deal if you'll be at the fair all day)!
  5. America's Kids: The America's Kids Expo is another great place to cool off.  It showcases fun activities surrounding adventures in literature and even has a princess castle for little ones to enjoy plus a place where you can train to be a knight!
  6. Fair Food: A trip to the LA County Fair isn't complete without fair food. From deep fried hot sauce to classic BBQ, the fair has EVERYTHING.  Our absolute favorite fair food? Afters Ice Cream.  They have a shop inside The Farm and stands in a few other locations around the fair.  This fancy ice cream is quite possibly the best I've ever had, and they have a variety of fun flavors.  Lydia loved her strawberry funnel cake and me? I splurged on bright blue Cookie Monster…..trust me, it was worth every calorie.

✨One of my favorite spots on the Disney Wish? The Bayou Lounge.  It’s stunning.  Perfectly detailed, ornate and plush and feels like……..a place you’d love to sit and sip on something fabulous.  There is live music in the evenings, there are beignets all day, and fancy drinks too.  It’s perfect for….one of my favs.

✨Is she one of your favorites too? (ps swipe for an iconic appearance)

đź’¦ I had to: full Disney Wish Aquamouse report đź’¦

For research purposes…..since anything that combines Disney and bathing suits is a requirement in my book.

Scroll to see my ride cam and reactions (and a sneak peak at Disney’s first attraction at sea).

Is it scary? No. 
Will kids like it? Yes.
Will adults like it? Yes.
Is it adorable? 100% yes.

Now…..would you ride the Aquamouse? Drop a yes or no in the comments.

<hosted by Disney> I had ONE thing I wanted to do during our day at Epcot before we sail away for the Christening of the Disney Wish tomorrow.  And it lived up to every expectation I had. â €
â €
Seriously, this ride is a magical addition to the parks (and I know WDW people it’s not new to you but it was new to us Disneylanders…..I’m SO glad I didn’t watch ride spoilers beforehand……it was so fun to experience it this way!)⠀
â €
So, if you had to pick ONE thing to do at Walt Disney World….what would your priority be? Now I have to know (and why is it something Epcot related).⠀
