 Check
the weather. South Florida weather in January is world-famous for its
balmy, tropical conditions, but can change quickly. Check ahead on whether
you
need to bring sunscreen, a hat, a sweater, or a poncho.
Arrive early. There is plenty to see and do. Parking area opens one
(1) hour prior to Fair opening.
Parking. There is ample complimentary parking
most days of the Fair. Remember which gate number you entered.
Take a moment to familiarize yourself with your surroundings to avoid
confusion when you depart.
PARKING IS FREE. Preferred parking is $10 on weekdays and $20 on
weekends.
Tram service. Give your feet a break. Complimentary and regularly scheduled
tram service is available to and from north parking areas. Trams operate

Please leave pets at home. Pets are not permitted on the fairgrounds. Do not
leave them in your vehicle. Only service/assistance dogs and seeing eye dogs are allowed in our facilities.
Auto assistance. If you lock your keys, have a flat tire or a dead battery,
a parking attendant can notify a Fair-certified towing service, and they
will assist you with your minor emergency needs.
 Wear comfortable shoes. With 130 acres to cover, there is plenty of
walking.

Lost? The Palm
Beach Post Lost Children’s booth is located on the
main concourse at the south end of the covered walkway. You may also seek

your party becomes separated. One tip is to select a tall, brightly colored
ride on the carnival midway.

property will be safely guarded at the Lost Children’s Booth.

baskets at home or in your vehicle. Such items are not permitted inside
