New Foods & Happenings at Valleyfair in 2022 (My Sneak Peek!)

Valleyfair is OPEN for the 2022 season and it’s going to be a fun season!

My family and I visited Valleyfair on opening weekend and enjoyed a special preview of some new foods they’re offering this summer.

We had a GREAT day sampling new foods and enjoying the rides, entertainment, games and more.

Their new foods include:

🍔 Juicy Lucy

-a Minnesota burger classic with cheese in the middle
Find this at the Northwoods Grill.

🍓 Strawberry Brownie on a Stick

-ooey gooey yummy sweet

🎂 Birthday Cake Popcorn

-sweet and crunchy

🥔 Country Boil on a Stick

-a hearty row of shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn on the cob

🍪 Deep Fried Oreos

-I had 3! They were amazing! Just the right balance of fried and sweet…

All were so good…especially the deep fried oreos 🙂

There are also new drinks including “Pixie Potion” and “Carnivale Cocktail” plus a “Blood Bag” alcoholic beverage. Watch for these during their Halloween event!
