Arizona State Fair Encounters UFO Experience

See it daily at the fair, Oct. 16-Nov. 8.

October 7, 2015
Are you headed to the Arizona State Fair? While there, you won't want to miss out on the world's first comprehensive exhibit about one of our favorite mysteries. 

Where do UFOs come from?
What is the military's role in modern sightings?
Did ancient people really have encounters with extraterrestrials?
What is pop culture's fascination with extra terrestrial life?

Get answers to these questions and learn different theories at this family friendly exhibit. Hear reports of UFOs and alien abductions as well as what happened when people encountered these extra terrestrials.

Admission to this exhibit is only $5. Children 5 and under are free with a paying adult. The Encounter is open daily at the fair, and requires separate fair admission to get in. 

The Arizona State Fair is packed with fun, just like previous years! Enjoy great rides for all ages. Roam through the exhibit halls. We love looking at all the exhibits and animals. I think a HUGE draw for many people is the diverse food selection. How can you resist all those deep fried foods? Try something new this year! 

Enjoy shows and special events throughout the time that the AZ State Fair is here. See concert schedule

See bears up close this year in Welde's Big Bear Show. Visit Kerr's Farm Tours to see livestock and learn about them. Go through the Krazy Maze with your friends, a timed scavenger hunt maze. See a hypnotist and magician! There are so many fun things to see and do at the AZ State Fair, you will want to spend all day! Find out below when you can go.
