Have been going for the last three years and I m always happy that we went. Would definitely recommend taking the OC express on the weekends so the price all together is 8 dollars per person (2/each way plus 4 to get in). They drop you off right next to the entrance and you go in the back way so you don t have to deal with the traffic.
They have dole whip and other great food choices. The prices are high for everything which is why it s not a 5 star review. Dole whip was 6.50 without tax and was over a dollar more with tax, for example. Rides aren t cheap either, but the sky tram is worth it especially around sunset. That s about when the light off fireworks too so you get a nice show and view of the fair. They have fun entertainment and a good crafts area. The centennial gardens are impressive and lots of animals to see. I highly recommend this fair.
