Kansas State Fair
Kansas' Largest Classroom
Where Education = Fun
The Kansas State Fair is full of fun, food, rides and animals but also offers an incredible avenue for learning. From animals to agriculture, math to science, technology to cooking, crafts to cowboys, the Kansas State Fair is a one-of-a-kind educational event that no student should miss. The Kansas' Largest Classroom is the overall education program of the Kansas State Fair that includes all of our learning activities available to both students on a field trip to the fair as well as children attending with their families.
In 2019, 11,662 students from 38 counties and 66 school districts participated in Kansas Largest Classroom. Our staff would be happy to assist you in planning your field trip. This is an experience your student’s won’t forget.
