Join Burlington Trailways for a fun-filled adventure to the iconic Iowa State Fair where Nothing Compares!

 

Travel in comfort aboard a luxury motorcoach with a professional driver and a friendly onboard host, ensuring a smooth and relaxing journey. Once you arrive, the fair is yours to explore once you are dropped right outside the gate! Watch the legendary butter cow take shape, marvel at the biggest and best homegrown produce, and enjoy live music and entertainment on multiple stages. Wander through the Livestock Pavilion to see prize-winning animals up close or cheer on contestants in quirky contests like the Husband Calling or Rolling Pin Throwing Competitions. Get your adrenaline pumping on the thrilling rides at the Midway or take a break with a leisurely ride on the giant Ferris wheel, offering breathtaking views of the fairgrounds. And, of course, no visit is complete without indulging in the incredible fair food—whether it’s a crispy corn dog, sizzling pork chop on a stick, gooey deep-fried Oreos, or a refreshing glass of fresh-squeezed lemonade, there’s something to satisfy every craving.

 

After a full day of fun, sink into your comfy seat and relax on the ride home, reminiscing about the sights, sounds, and flavors of Iowa’s greatest summer tradition— all without the stress of driving!
