What to Bring and Not to Bring to the CNE 2024

So, you’re ready to hit up the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), eh? Awesome! You’ve got your tickets, your game plan, and your appetite ready for all the delicious treats. But hold on a sec! Before you head out the door, let’s make sure you’re not accidentally packing anything that might cause a hiccup at the gates by knowing what to bring and not bring to the CNE.
We want you to focus on the fun, not on explaining why you brought your pet iguana or your collection of pocket knives. So, let’s go through a quick and painless list of what not to bring to the CNE, so you can breeze through the entrance and get straight to the action!
The No-Nos: Leave These at Home
While the CNE welcomes you with open arms, there are a few things you’ll need to leave at home to keep everyone safe and ensure a good time for all.
- Alcohol and Illegal Substances – Keep the party vibes legal and safe. You can purchase alcohol at designated areas within the CNE, but the management strictly prohibits illegal substances.
- Weapons – This one’s a no-brainer. Leave any weapons at home, including firearms, knives, and even those “harmless” ninja stars.
- Wheels – While it might be tempting to zip around on your rollerblades, skateboard, or hoverboard, you are not allowed on the CNE grounds. You can bring bikes, but only outside the gates.
- Drones – As cool as aerial footage might be, the CNE does not permit drones.
- Pets – We know you love your furry friends, but unfortunately, they’re not invited to the party (service animals are the exception).
- Anything Dangerous – Use your common sense here. If it could potentially harm someone or disrupt the fun, leave it behind. CNE staff will have the final say on what they consider a safety hazard.

A Few More Things to Keep in Mind
- Tickets – Make sure you have your tickets ready to go, either printed or on your phone. Remember, fraudulent tickets won’t get you in!
- Bags – While bags are allowed, they may be subject to inspection. Pack light to speed up the process.
- Smoking – Smoking is only permitted in designated areas.
- Behaviour – Be respectful of others and follow the rules. Disruptive behaviour could result in you being asked to leave.
Now Go Have Fun!
With these tips in mind, you’re all set for a fantastic day at the CNE. Remember, it’s all about having fun and making memories. Leave the prohibited items at home, pack your enthusiasm, and get ready to experience the magic of the Ex!
