Go when the gate opens. Get tickets on line on your phone. Leave by 3pm. Crowds were so packed literally (not kidding here) you just stand. No one was moving down the main walkway it was so crowded. It was completely unsafe situation for children, or if someone passed out, etc. It became a dangerous situation to be in a crowd so tightly packed that we left early and will not go back unless the Fair administrators figure out a way to maintain crowd control.
