The Statler Hotel has transformed its ballroom into Fair Play At The Statlera socially-distanced interactive exhibit inspired by the Texas State Fair.

Tickets are $10 for people 7+ and free for children 6 and younger and can be purchased online

The Fair Play At The Statler exhibition ends on September 20th. 

This event features multiple photo opportunities, a large statue of Elvis made of butter, games, Texas  State Fair inspired cocktails and snacks, a Cotton Candy Corral, kids’ activities, games, food and drink tastings, and more.
