Editorial, never paid. How the Dad Score works
The LA County Fair runs for most of May at the Fairplex in Pomona, mixing farm animals, carnival rides and museums. You can watch pig races on the Farm Road, see live milking in the Cattle Barn, ride the century-old Garden Railroad, and browse blacksmith and glassblowing demonstrations in Heritage Square, all before catching a Friday parade.
Why it works for a dad and child
You wander barns and stages together, pointing out pigs, trains and blacksmiths rather than just watching her ride something alone.
