Good food but little bit costly; good shopping options like jewelry, trendy clothes, blankets, utensils, homemade snacks, unique decorative items; rode ropeway, attended RV demolition show which was good, overall good family fun
County Fair was fun, lots to see and do, they were handicap friendly and helpful.
The weather was... Lines not that long, rides scary and twisty as they should be. Wide Variety of food choices and to escape the heat the Race Track beckoned...my horse 'Gotham Desire' came in 3rd. Had a lot of fair time fun that brought back a lot of memories from my yesteryears.
Went to see Sheila E. She did not disappoint. Great show. It was fairly crowded but everyone was considerate and friendly.
Great place and parking is easy just be aware how narrow the exit and entering parking is as well as the fact that the parking lot is not paved road so don't bring your nice cars?
Always had a fun time. Great up going here. Fun for a family trip or to take your other out on a date
Great for a night or two. Very close to your neighbor. But for the price very nice rest night stop.
RV show was great, they could of had more A class coaches. Now charging 18 dollars to get in. I think that's a little high. Don't know if I'd go back at that price.
Wonderful the jewlry the hobbies the food i missed the chickens this year they didnt have any they had all kinds of venders selling things
Demonstrations to scooters for one they have vibrating chairs make you feel good. Liz van vleet.
Any and all members of a family can find something fun to do at fair
Good guys car show always has lots of nice cars. Been getting more expensive over the years and less and less venders as they have been priced out.
Some times parking is difficult to find for bigger events if you are coming from pleasanton downtown
This county fairground is HUGE and can fit any amount of entertainment venue. It is perfect for SF Caledonia Pleasanton Highland Games.
Not so great...only if like food, fun, and lots of laughter! Oh yeah, and if you don't like little animals don't bother going!
We took our RV to dump the tanks and was needed help with from the service man and he wasn't helpful at all.
Went to Good Guys car event.Alameda fairgrounds always a nice place to visit.Clesn and well organized.
Love this place! Very reasonable rates for golf balls. You can also practice chipping and putting.
Great fair food and games. A little disorganized inside the fair. Get tickets and parking from Groupon or livingsocial so its cheaper.
GREAT TIME, EVERY year!
Nice, organized and shaded parking lot. Clean facilities with nice restrooms. Organized events. Always a good time.
my family and I really like that type of cars so we had a great time
Pro: nearby parking, variety of things to see like rides, barn animals, magic shows, arts and crafts, carnival food.
Con: food overpriced but normal for any fair, must pay to park, very hot with little shade in food areas so need to go see barn animals or art indoors to cool off.
went to night market yesterday. lots of food and fun. lines are long
I travel with the Amusements it's a fun fair Thankful for all the shaded area because it gets extremely hot here. Free concerts whoo hoo
It's a fairgrounds. A giant fairgrounds. They have so many events outside fair,season
Nothing but hospitable to us. Were able to make accommodations over the phone after answering questions. Great staff that really care about what they do.
So fun going there for different events. Been going since I was little now go with my husband and grown kids. So glad to have this so close to home!
Really nice fairgrounds; lots of big, old trees; lots of grass, lots of shade. Friendly, lots of families, great location off 680; easy in&out; parking right by entrance gate. Oh, and lots of cool events like the Good Guys Hot Rod Show and Swap Meet
Went for an RV show, parking $ outrageous! People/staff very rude and snotty! Typical PTown!
I love going to the fair! I highly recommend the hand dipped corn dogs, but skip the roasted corn.
Love the fair every year. Yes, it's expensive, but it's only once a year and love feeling like a kid again.
One of the best times for my family. Alameda county Fair 2018. Really had a great time, eating, drinking, and playing with my family
Came here for the NorCal night market and it was definitely improved! Organized parking and quick entrance
Good guys car show. They must make a ton of money !!! $10 parking $20 entrance. Nice cars
This place is amazing! I had a wonderful time. I also felt safe to park due to the patrol of local law enforcement. Freaking awesome sauce! My favorite part of the day was about mid day when I walked into a building and got a few Carmel apples and a long free massage. Thanks !

I went there for dog adoption fair sponsored by KTSF 5 CBS in Bay Area and Pet Food store. County faire also there too . Very spacious . Very comfortable. I enjoy it
Union Retirement Solutions enjoying the UA Local 342s picnic!!!
Many things to do here. It's not just the fairgrounds... Many attractions including many Goodguys car shows.
It is also a very popular place for people to park their cars and commute to their place of work. There is also a train station across the road that many commuters use to catch the train to work. All in all so many things to do here. Take a look around and plan your day..
We were there for an extended period of time and the extremely small spaces got to us. The bathrooms are typically clean, though often the showers are a bit disgusting. Staff is pleasant to deal with. The person that drives around at 8pm with his light flashing is unnecessary and annoying. Not bring able to have a fire is horrible, when you are used to having one everywhere else you go. All in all, it's a fine place, if you only need to stay a few days, though would NOT recommend for anything more than that.
I have been coming here since forever! Every year. Mostly for Bubbas BBQ!! But of course..cotton candy!!! I can spend the whole day here, shopping, watching shows, eating, people watching. I love it !!
I'm here for the Good Guys event and it is a beautiful day! The cars are beautiful and the grounds are amazing! There is heaps of shade and the chair lift that goes through the middle of the grounds is a great way to see everything from another perspective.
Awesome alot of fun so many rides for my son allday fun animals ,monster truck's , rides, food ,fireworks and alot of vendors ....
Deep fryer temperature, line around the stadium and parking lot a mile away that cost $10. If you don't mind any of these things then you be fine.
Typical fairground very dusty in the parking areas.
Best campground around the Bay Area , highly recommend
Alameda County Fair has been around for over 100 years. It always delivers fun for the whole family. I hope it goes another 100 years and beyond! Thank You Pleasanton for never disappointing!
There is always something that is great fun happening here they got the fair and the good guys car show, gem shows, home and garden shows and the nor Cal night market this is a great place and to top it all off they have horse racing!
Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves with our eldest daughter and our grandchildren. We ve been attending this fair since 1974, unbeatable family value, too much to see and do in one day.
It closed on Tuesday and I hav been waiting 2 years to go to the fair and Tuesday is the only day my mom doesn t have work all day so I can t go till next year
It seems the staff gets to make up their own rules here.
