Tips & Advice

  • Buy your ticket online ahead of time, because advance ticket holders get the easiest entry straight from the expo parking lot.
  • Bring a can of non-perishable food for the Capital Area Food Bank drive, which gets you a discount on admission at the door.
  • Join the e-newsletter before you buy online to get a discount on your ticket, keeping in mind it's one discount per person.
  • Shop over more than one day if you like, since a single admission covers Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
  • Bring the kids along, since children under 12 get in free and the door accepts both cash and credit cards.
