INDIANAPOLIS — There is a brand new way to experience the magic of the Indiana State Fair. Organizers have officially unveiled The State Fair Train, an all-new attraction designed to give fairgoers a fresh perspective on one of Indiana’s most beloved annual traditions.
The state-of-the-art train promises a breezy, narrated, one-mile journey circling the north side of the fairgrounds. As the train winds along its track, passengers will be treated to engaging stories behind the landmarks and history of the fairgrounds, complete with a classic whistle that adds to the old-school charm.
Built with inclusivity in mind, the train is explicitly designed to be fun for everyone. It features a fully ADA-accessible compartment tailored specifically for guests who use wheelchairs or those who simply require step-free access to enjoy the ride.
