Wisconsin State Fair Park, Fair ground and stadium complex in West Allis, United States.
Wisconsin State Fair Park is a large complex featuring exhibition halls, racing tracks, and recreational facilities that host events and gatherings throughout the year. The different areas support various activities ranging from sporting competitions to cultural exhibits.
The Wisconsin Agricultural Society purchased the land in 1891 and created a permanent home for state fairs. The grounds later served as a military camp during multiple wars, adapting its use to meet wartime needs.
The grounds maintain connections to farming through livestock shows and demonstrations that introduce urban visitors to rural practices. Spectators can observe traditional skills being passed along to new generations.
The grounds offer multiple entrances with ample parking and public transportation stops near the main gates. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the property spreads across a large area requiring considerable walking.
The property contains one of only two remaining Indian effigy mounds in Milwaukee County. This archaeological remnant from ancient times often goes unnoticed by visitors passing through.
