Indiana State Fair Reviews

$2 Tuesday had good deals. First time attending the event so late in the day and the last because of the crowd. I will always go early on

Great 2020 Indy RV Expo shows. All shows I've seen here are amazing. A lot to see.

Clean, well organized, customer-oriented. Parking. Variety of activities.

Large facility with multiple venues. The gate fees have been steadily climbing and have reached $8 at the moment. That is only the facility charge for driving onto the property. Tickets for the event we attended were another $75. It seems excessive.

Lights were beautiful and the pace of driving around to see the display was ok.

We love coming here. Lots of events. We love the fair and go every year.

Went to the Home Show. $5.00 to park, not bad. Clean, well organized, lots of booths and lots of free things. I.e. pens, paper pads, jar openers, candy everywhere, lens cleaners, lip gloss, water dispensers/cups along isles and other free things.

Nice fairgrounds with lots of nice buildings/displays. The parking situation can get a bit hairy during the State Fair but they manage it very well.

The grounds always seem clean and they have areas for you to eat, play, explore, learn, etc.

The State Fairgrounds are a great event venue. It's a well-maintained facility. And they generally do things pretty well. There are events here throughout the year, with the Highlight being the Indiana State Fair. They hold multiple other events throughout the year. Parking is generally pretty adequate. Especially for any event besides the State Fair.

Paying $8 for parking seems excessive, and sure is an inconvenience when you have to queue in line for a good deal of time

Fairgrounds and buildings well maintained. Concession prices are simply outrageous. Surrounding area is ran down and unpleasant, feels unsafe. At least the grounds are fenced in.

Sold out crowd @Kat Williams Show Friday night. Awesome show. Kat Williams & your possie y'all rocked.
I've attended several events at the State Fairgrounds and NEVER has the exiting been this AWFUL.
They did not enough gates open to relieve the traffic jams. We were on the grounds for more than 20 minutes. They could have opened gates open to relieve the cluster. Drivers got frustrated and started cutting people cars off. We got scared.
One star is for the exiting issues.

Kat Williams you get 5 stars.

Home Show had great exhibitors. Very well put together.

That's not a good place to get a car at all I would not recommend anyone to go up there and get a used car where they do not have a mechanic there to look at it and see what is wrong with it before you buy it it is supposed to by as is and now I am taking them to court with lemon law so if you feel like you want to go up there and waste your money on a piece of junk like I then be my guest but I would recommend you not to do that

Went to the motor cycle expo and boat sport and travel shows recently... We visit here a lot. Love it!

Parking is a joke !!! Come up to watch the kid perform and missed it. Sat in parking line 2 hrs. Way over priced !

Indiana international festival Ethiopian cultural show.

Always enjoy events at the Indiana State Fair look forward to going back for any event going on there

Motorcycle expo..very dissatisfied this not as big not many booths for ,jackets etc..saw no boots that's why i did go besides bikes...not happy

It's incredible that after you PAY to park and PAY for your ticket for whatever that you still must PAY to use the internet!

2018 Fair was great. Definitely recommend the Circus!!

Had a great time at the fair but it gets pricy when u want to do stuff other than walk around

Mecum auto auction going on through Saturday. Some beautiful cars there. This was my first time going. Maybe next time I'll take some money?

So many things to see and do. The kids love the rides, I got to check out the different exhibits. Educational and entertaining with lots of things to see and do for everyone. A great experience overall

This was our first time attending andbwe had a great time. It is so big and there is so much to do. The only issue unbranded we purchased lemonade and they said our refills would be 4.00 they never said it was only goos one one said so on the other side of the park we wanted a refill and they charged us more stating they are not the same like really that was redic. There is plenty to do eat and see.

The event drew a very nice crowd. Everyone was practicing all neccessary safety precautions, and having a great time!

Recently visited for the Christmas light display. We spent 3.5 hours, yes, you read that correctly, in line to see 20-30 minutes of lights, tops. While the display was lovely, an online, real time wait notice would have been helpful. The sign posted did say to expect as much, however, it was only posted after we'd been in line for 45-60 minutes. Overall, nothing wrong with the display, just an outrageous wait.

I've been going to the fair every year for the last 40 years what more can I say I love to the Indiana State Fair

It's A Hassle Trying to Find Your Way Out Sometimes But It Was A Gun Show Not A Fair So I Can't Rate On Fun And Activity

Appreciate the handicap parking in the fairgrounds, but putting it at the farthest points from the entrance was definitely NOT appreciated!!

Always love the State Fair. Friendly people, well maintained, good parking, lots of fun stuff to do for kids and adults alike.

This might be the last event that I attend there. The schedule of events, is beyond ignorant. If the fiasco happened, during an event, that I was an organizer of, I would move it. The "lack of" organizer, seems to think that 10,000 people, can park, in one corner of the grounds. Besides $5 to get in the gate and $12 to get in the door, I had to park hundreds of yards away. If I were even in the same area, it would be better. It sends a definate message. The "un-fair" board, doesn't want thousands of people to come to Indianapolis and spend money. Noted.

We went to the Home Show. There were plenty of vendors and interesting ideas. Easy parking access. Parking is $5.00 and there is a fresh shuttle.

Had an amazing day at the state fair! Definitely will be back!

Love going to 4 wheel jamboree always a good family event

You haven't experienced Indiana unless you've been to the Indiana State Fair. I've been going there for years and the exhibits are always impressive.

Been going once a year. For a long time. Always a good time. And we stay all day. But the heat is crazy. Like I say. Always a good time

The fair grounds are nice, but the dog show wasn't worth the trip there. Even it is was just from Kokomo.

Attend different events at the fairgrounds. Events are clean. Parking usually not an issue. Staff friendly.

The young Hoosier piano competition was very enjoyable to watch

It's a decent place for an event that doesn't require a super clean environment. I've been to many different types of events, here, and I've yet to have a real complaint besides difficulty getting in

The parking and roads are horrible. Can't express it enough. Not a easy place to get around at all.

Great facility. Parking is $8. No reentry. You can bring your own food. For the private event we attended, i only saw attentive and polite fairground staff who were helpful.

Over book, over charge and pack that place as full as they can so the event you're going to may take way longer to access than it should.

Went in for reptile show, found easy and convenient parking.

Went to boat, camper and fishing show. Large area but they did a good job of connecting the buildings. Very clean location, even the bathrooms.

A little pricey but other than that a great place to have fun on a date or take the kids.
