Minnesota State Fair Ticket, Parking Prices To Rise In 2025

The Minnesota State Fair will hike ticket prices by $2 this year, bringing the cost of a regular ticket for an adult to $20.

On Sunday, fair officials said ticket prices would go up as the fair looks to “fund extensive capital improvements and maintenance work and address rising operational costs.”

The fair kept ticket prices flat in 2024 after a series of $1 hikes in the years prior.

Over the past 20 years, ticket prices for the fair have more than doubled, going from $9 in 2005 to $20 this year.

Many of the recent hikes came as the fair tried to rebound after losing the 2020 festival due to COVID.

On-site parking prices will also go up, jumping from $20 to $25.

The 2025 Minnesota State Fair is scheduled to be held from Aug. 21 to Labor Day, Sept. 1.
