The Georgia National Fair field trips offer a first-hand look at agriculture outside of the classroom! We encourage students from the state of Georgia to come attend our livestock shows, award-winning stories of agriculture displays and the Georgia Grown Exhibits.

Once your class has been registered and approved we will mail you a teacher’s packet with information, along with instructions on where to park and enter the Fairgrounds.
