DART's got the easiest way to the Fair!

State Fair of Texas 2004 logoEvery Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 25 to Oct. 17, the DART State Fair Shuttle whisks you directly from Cityplace Station to the front door of the country's biggest state fair. Plus, you get a coupon for $2 off fair admission just by hopping aboard.

With DART, you're just four steps away from this year's celebration of "Good Food, Great Fun!"

Step One: Park free at any DART Rail station park & ride lot, and buy a $4.50 Premium Day Pass from a Ticket Vending Machine.
Step Two: Ride DART Rail to Cityplace Station.
Step Three: Hop the State Fair Shuttle departing every 10 minutes from 9:30 a.m. (The last return shuttle leaves the fairgrounds at 11:30 p.m.)
Step Four: Get a coupon good for $2 off admission to the great State Fair of Texas!
