Stop by to see the Ohio History Center during the State Fair! The museum will be open daily from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. This year again, the Ohio History Center main entrance will be a full Ohio State Fair entry point, including State Fair ticket sales and security screening. When you visit, be sure to stop by and get a first look at the Ohio Village renovations!
The Ohio History Center will be open for members for free as always. Additionally, Ohio History Connection members of any membership level can enjoy two FREE admission tickets for the Ohio State Fair.
Our members must acquire their two free fair tickets in person at any official State Fair gate and must present their membership card (physical or digital). Additional tickets may be purchased at regular price or with other discounts. The offer is not valid for tickets purchased online or in advance. If members choose to visit only our campus, they will not receive an Ohio State Fair handstamp; however, the full security screening for State Fair entry is required.
Ohio History Connection members can receive free parking at the Ohio State Fair. Members must show their membership cards to park for free in any open parking area.
