NEW - RIDESHARE DROP-OFF/PICK-UP CHANGES: UBER, LYFT & TAXIS
New this year, Wisconsin State Fair will offer rideshare users an improved drop-off and pickup area on the north end of the Fair Park, outside of Spin City near the U.S. Cellular Main Gate. This area was previously located at the Gate 4 transit area just north of Greenfield Avenue on 84th Street. However, due to the significant growth in the number of fairgoers utilizing these services, we are moving the area to not only better serve our guests, but also to provide a safer experience.
