The things that we learn.

Ever wonder where "the midway" got its name?

Trace it back to Chicago, 1893. The strip of rides, games, and food at the World's Fair lived on a stretch called the Midway Plaisance.

The name stuck. Every fair since has had a midway of its own.

Drop a 🎢 if walking the midway is your favorite part of any fair.
