Planning the 2027 Youth Fair: 21 Open Days, Four Dark Dates

The 2027 Youth Fair runs 18 March to 11 April at 10901 Coral Way. Gate times are published for all 21 open days, five vehicle entrances serve the fair, and one admission price is public.

Twenty-One Open Days Across Twenty-Five

The 2027 Youth Fair runs from Thursday 18 March to Sunday 11 April. Those dates sit on a banner at the top of every page on fairexpo.com. Four dates carry no gate: Monday 29 and Tuesday 30 March, then Monday 5 and Tuesday 6 April.

Twenty-one days remain open. The About page calls the event a 21-day fair. The Tickets, Discounts and Deals, Know Before You Go and FAQ pages each serve a newsletter prompt that names the 75th anniversary.

Eight Days Open at 4 PM, Thirteen at Noon

The Schedule page lists an opening time against every date. Eight open days start at 4 PM: 18 and 19 March, 31 March, 1 and 2 April, and 7, 8 and 9 April. Each of the eight is a Wednesday, a Thursday or a Friday.

Thirteen open days start at noon. The noon run begins on Saturday 20 March and holds for nine consecutive days, to Sunday 28 March. The other four noon dates are 3 and 4 April and 10 and 11 April.

Closing times run later at the weekend. The front gate closes at 10 PM or later from Sunday to Thursday, and at 11 PM or later on Friday and Saturday. The page adds that closing times vary.

Five Vehicle Entrances, Two on Coral Way

The Getting Here page names five vehicle entrances. Two pair Coral Way with SW 112th Avenue and SW 114th Avenue. Two pair 117th Avenue with SW 22nd Street and SW 21st Street. The fifth pairs SW 107th Avenue with SW 17th Street.

A group arriving by rideshare enters at Coral Way and 112th Avenue. The page names that point for drop-off and pick-up. Passengers who cannot walk far use the handicap drop-off at the front of the main entrance.

The venue attaches a condition to all five points. The entrances, the rideshare point and the handicap drop-off apply only to the annual Youth Fair. They may not apply to Fair Expo Center events through the rest of the year.

Timing a Coach or a Convoy

A noon gate gives seven hours before a 7 PM departure and ten hours before a 10 PM close. A 4 PM gate on a Friday gives seven hours before the 11 PM close.

The first block carries nine noon openings in a row, from 20 to 28 March. The second and third blocks carry three 4 PM openings each, on a Wednesday, a Thursday and a Friday.

One Published Price

No page lists a gate price, a child price, a parking fee or a discount day. Those four pages carry the newsletter prompt in place of a ticket table.

One 2027 price is public. A Field Trip Unlimited Rides Wristband costs $15 per person and goes on sale on 27 November 2026. That price covers rides on the five school mornings.

Two Group Bookings That Open Before the Gates

Field trips run on five mornings from 9 AM to 1 PM. Friday 19 March takes grades 3 to 5. Friday 2 April takes pre-K through grade 2. Wednesday 7 April takes middle school grades 6 to 8 from the central region. Thursday 8 April takes grades 6 to 8 from the north and south regions. Friday 9 April takes exceptional students.

Admission is free for students, teachers and chaperones on those five mornings. The page bars private vehicles, backpacks and strollers. It suspends wheelchair, stroller, scooter and wagon rentals on those days.

Howdy Tours take second and third grade classes into The Barn on Wednesday 31 March and Thursday 1 April. Both run from 9 AM to 1 PM, and each tour takes about an hour. The page places both tours during fair non-operating hours. It carries a registration link and prints no closing date.

The Grounds and the Address

The About page counts 80 or more rides. The Rides, Food and Games page names three ride areas: Majorland, Kiddieland and Kiddieland Too. The same page counts more than 150 food stands and states that games take cash only.

The About page reports more than 500,000 guests at the 2025 fair. It places the fair among the top 35 in North America and counts more than 44,500 students exhibiting from public, charter, private and home schools.

The grounds address is 10901 SW 24th Street, Miami, FL 33165. The footer on every page prints the same property as 10901 Coral Way. The venue phone number is 305.223.7060.

The Getting Here page links one parking map. The file path on the venue storage carries the year 2024, so a planner should confirm the lot layout against the 2027 dates before the group travels.
