Review of OC Fair & Event Center

I have no idea how this place stays in business. It's not like we live in the middle of Nebraska with little entertainment. With all of the amusement parks nearby, and how EXPENSIVE everything is at the Fair, it's gotta be a wash in cost.

Parking $10, Ticket $12....
$7-7.50 PER RIDE (yes, you read that right). They looked safe and somewhat fun.
$5 PER GAME (standard carnival games).

FOOD: I paid $8.50 for french fries with garlic on then of what would be considered a medium size portion at a fast food place. Again, we live in Orange County.... one of the "foodie" capitals of the country. *Everything* found at the Fair can be purchased somewhere else at almost half the price.

ANIMALS: Yeah... I'm not excited to see animals kept in small pens in heat for the amusement of people. It's worse than a zoo. At least there they attempt to give them an environment that keeps them mentally entertained. Again, we have the Santa Ana Zoo.

I JUST DON'T GET IT.

5 rides = $37.50
5 games = $25
Entry ticket = $12

That's $75. Knott's Berry Farm entry is $50 and you'll make it through at least 10 rides even on the busiest of days. Just sayin'...
