MaltaMama - Family Fun Things to Do | Malta, NY, Saratoga County

Before I get into the fair nitty gritty, I wanted to share a great bargain that Albany Mommy posted about... Entertainment books on clearance for $5 each!  They expire on November 1st, but here are just a few things I've used mine for:  Buy one get one admission to Saratoga Children's Museum ($7 savings), Buy one get one free Ben and Jerry's ice cream ($3 savings), Buy one menu item get one free at Virgil's House, McDonald's and Moe's coupons, and lots more.  It's worth it!  

Moving on to the Saratoga County Fair starting Tuesday, July 20th and ending on Sunday, July 25th.  Hours are from 9am - midnight.  General admission on Tuesday-Thursday is $8 for adults and kids under 52" are always free.  Friday-Sunday adults are $10.  There's a ton of stuff going on at the fair.  It can be fun to just go and check it out, but if you're into planning, here's a list of daily schedules as PDF's you can download and choose the activities that suit you and your family (if any!).  The fair can be hot, overwhelming and sketchy at times.  But it's a whirlwind of sights, sounds, food, rides, entertainment, animals, pagents, and all things that make it so irresistible.  (Did I mention fried dough?)  
A jogging stroller or baby carrier is your best bet for transporting little one's.  Best times to go are mid-week (early in the day) or later in the evening when the temperatures are hopefully cooler.
