No visit to the fair would be complete without a petting zoo; the Palisades Fair has one of the largest in the area. Where else can you see a camel, Texas longhorn, donkeys, horses, oxen and goats? You can feed many of the animals or even take a ride on one of the fair’s camels or ponies.

For the younger set, the Old West Dog and Pony Show tell the delightful story of sheriffs and villains in the Old West through the antics of a costumed coyote and real-live trained dogs.
