First time at the OC Fair and was pleasantly surprised. Parking is $9 and there was plenty of spots available. Bought tickets to the fair in advance through Eventbrite and that made it very easy to just walk up to the front, get a little stamp on the hand and ready to go in. At the entrance there are lots of event photographers aggressively trying to get your photo so you can buy it when you exit. Don't personally recommend those pictures but if you do, then make sure to get them here. There is a huge selection of food so over the fair. From cotton candy, to popcorn, ice cream, hot dogs, BBQ, and much more. There are good stands and a couple of sit down places. In terms on attractions, there are many carnival style rides at the furthest end of the fair. In between, you can enjoy their holiday lights on the left side of the fair. It's quite extensive. There's a little train that you can take instead of walking. In the middle of the fair there is the skating rink. To the right, you can do tubing. There are two small indoor markets where you can buy crafts, clothes, and food or drinks. At the very back, there is the stage where you can enjoy different performers throughout the night. Overall, it's a fun place with lots of things to do with the whole family. Please like this review of you found it helpful :)
