Riding DART to the State Fair of Texas is a terrific way to spend time with friends or your family, whether you’re enjoying a live show, exploring the Creative Arts entries, or sampling some of the delicious – and often deep-fried – food. Big Tex^® will greet you with a warm “howdy” when the gates swing open Sept. 29 for this year’s Fair, which runs through Oct. 22. Seniors age 60 and older get into the Fair free each Thursday. Every other day, the best price on Fair admission tickets is through DART’s GoPass app^® where senior/child tickets are only $12 versus $14 at the gate or $12.50 online. Both your DART pass and your Fair tickets will be right there on your phone and scanned at the gates. Fair Park or MLK, Jr. Station Most DART riders are familiar with Fair Park Station. But MLK Jr. Station also serves Fair Park at Gate 6, near the Cotton Bowl Stadium. Passengers riding DART Rail and the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) to downtown Dallas can transfer easily to the Green Line. From downtown Dallas, Green Line trains going to the fair will read "BUCKNER," "LAWNVIEW" or "FAIR PARK."
