Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair - Fairground in Statesboro - 16942 GA-67, USA

We enjoyed the fair this year 2023. There was plenty variety of rides. Many local vendors of food and services to choose from and support as well. One of the amusement food pizza stands had pickle flavored pizza!! It seemed to be a big hit even though I chose pepperoni lol. Admission was $10 per person to get in the gates. Good way to support the Kiwanis.

Fun experience but the price was way to much to enter which did not include your balloon ride and then you had to pay for almost everything inside as well. You can easily drop $200 with 2 adults and 1 child in there in about 2 to 3 hours. Nice to see balloons and light show. Website info needs to be updated because we drove along way to do this and only discovered the extra charges while there. It was like $55 just to enter. Balloon rides were $25 each and kids i thank $15..which is going up and coming down which was reasonable. Alot of food available but the food was very pricy. (Like almost $15-$20 for a meal and dink) The entrance fee was the thing that shocked us! Games were available which was $5 and $8 each to play. Those were fun. Thanks for the experience. We probably won't be back due to the high entrance fee charges. Just can't afford it.

Cool laser show, but my family, who went before, said it wasn't as good as last year. The screen was up higher the year before, and I could see that could've been better. I still liked it.

The fair is super fun, $25 gets you a stamp for all day access to the rides except a few, like the bull ride. Typical tastey fair food like turkey legs ($6 by gate 3, more expensive by the rides), funnel cakes (again, cheaper by gate 3), and delicious smoothies from Key West Smoothies by the rides (only $5 for a good sized small!) Biggest issues we ran into was the lack of seating and the lack of shade provided. It wasn't due to lack of space either; it was there. Both my mother and myself have medical issues and need to sit often and can't be in the sun for lengthy periods of time. Obviously we made due and had fun. More options for covered seating, especially by the rides would be great...but other than that it was a fantastic time. It was a tad disappointing that the entertainment didn't start until later in the day when we left; it would be nice to have some earlier options since we all pay the same fee, especially on a Saturday. My entire family enjoyed themselves regardless and we definitely plan on coming back next year.

Very fun. Love that this size of fair is brought to Brunswick.

For starters the prices were absolutely outrageous and that was the least of the issues. While standing in line for the first ride and water bottle flew from a ride and struck my friend standing next to me in the head. The opporators of the ride were completely neglegent and did not ensure that riders were secure in their seats. They were also messing around with control stand flipping switches and laughing while the ride was running. The only people who were nice and seemed to care about doing their jobs were the medical aid people who checked out my friends head. If anyone is ever debating going to the fair I highly advise against it.

Not secure enough. I was waiting in line for a tall swing ride (named Vertigo) and a visitor on that ride dropped a bottle and it fell straight onto my head from at least 40 feet above me, leaving me in severe pain and mild disorientation. The operator of the ride didn't even realize anything happened and resumed normal activities. It breaks my heart to write this review since I enjoy fairs greatly, but this experience has left me frustrated and short $40 or so to ride a single ride then receive a head injury. I'm not coming here ever again. I can only imagine what would've happened if that bottle hit a small child.

We went to the Monster Truck show and despite dodging bad weather, they put on a great show. It was my 5 yo granddaughter's first time and she lived it! To bad the Gator truck dint win anything. Better luck next time. I'll be there.
