Celebrating its bicentennial, the Indiana State Fair 2016 officially kicks off August 5 and comes to and end August 21. With all of the fun stuff to get in at the fair, here’s a list of stuff to make sure you get in on your state fair trip.

  1. “Don’t be a Zombie, Be Prepared”: This all new zombie apocalypse simulator has been opened at the State Fair. The walk-through maze and video game was designed to prepare families for real-life disasters and possibly a zombie apocalypse.
  2. EAT: There are tons of food stands and trucks held at the fair. If you’re willing to try famous fair foods like deep-fried oreos, elotes, elephant ears, donut burgers and pulled pork cheese fries, make sure to grab something to eat during your visit.
  3. Barns and Livestock: Rabbits, cows, chickens, pigs, sheep and even more animals will be at the fair for your close-up experience. There is also a Livestock Nursery where you are able to witness calves being born.
  4. Pokemon Hunt: The State Fair is home to 32 pokestops, four gyms, and lure modules are placed everywhere. See this as a good opportunity to gain XP and catch rare Pokemon.
