VISITOR TIPS

Make the most of this year's Home Show!

When to Go
Beat the crowds by planning your trip on a weekday after 3 p.m. Parking and traffic will be much easier to navigate. Senior Day, Monday, March 8: Seniors pay only $5.

How Much Time?
Arrive at least two hours before closing time. We've found that most browsers need a couple of hours to tour the exhibits. Because the Home Show gives you a chance to shop and compare in one place at one time, even the most focused visitor can lose track of time.

What to Bring?
With so much to see, be sure to bring paper and pen so you can take notes. Bring any relevant measurements or material names to assist you when talking shop with suppliers and contractors. Because children may tire from walking, we encourage the use of strollers and backpacks.

What to Wear?
Dress appropriately for the weather. You can check your coat at the entrance, but the complex is cool in some areas. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of ground to cover.

Can We Eat at the Show?
The Farm Show Complex manages several food concessions during the Show.

Where Can I Get Help? Got a question? Look for our volunteers with the large "Ask Me" buttons. You can also check at the Show Office near the food vendors in the Exposition Center.

Are There Activities for Children?
Saturday, March 13, is Kids Day. FREE Home Depot Workshop: children ages 6–12 can build a special project in the Expo Hall from 11:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. (with parent participation). Sponsored by Home Depot Home Services.
