3. Wear the Right Clothes

Because the Delaware State Fair strives to create a family-friendly environment for guests of all ages, follow their dress code when you walk through the gates.

Generally speaking, you'll want to wear something casual and comfortable. You'll be doing a lot of walking throughout the day, so good walking shoes and breathable clothing are a must — think T-shirts, shorts and comfortable sneakers. And if you're wearing anything with graphics on it, ensure the image and text are kid-friendly.
