OC Fair & Event Center Reviews

Good fun for all ages. Took 3 generations and they all had fun.

Always a good time and great food.... good to see them packed!!

i recently went to the oc fair and it was fun! i encourage you to go some day. try to park someplace other than the actual parking lot for the fair, parking is $10! the food stands and other stands are quite pricey, so i recommend to bring loads of money, some accept credit, but i say bring mostly cash. if you are going on rides, you're gonna need a lot of money for sure. some rides (mostly the bigger ones) require more tickets, 15-20 tickets, meaning you're gonna need to buy more if you plan on going on those. i went in the summer, and it was HOT, and walking around for even a couple hours, will tire you and your feet. bring comfortable shoes and light clothing. and don't forget, the food there is HUGE (don't forget pricey!). i got a hot dog combo meal, and that hot dog was twice the size of a regular one!

Always look forward to eating our way through the OC Fair every year!

Went here for the new cars and coffee. The crowd was a little light. Think I need to check out the Also Viejo one.

OC Fair Market Place we're sealing hand crafted item's; jewelry, Painting's & Y Shirts April 14,&15, Will be last weekend here so come out and visit us .

I have been going to the fair many years even work there one summer a good time is to be had there

Parking is not so great but other than that it is a good place.

This is a thrilling experience the games are amazing it has carnival games

I've been to fairs in many states and this one is the best in California.

The OCFair was a lot of fun! We had a blast. The booths and rides were fun. The food was pricy as expected. A lot of family entertainment for the whole day. I recommend this place for something different. Be warned though we went to get elote in a cup. It was a toddler sized cup with corn and a dab of mayo on top. I don't know why it cost $7 but do not get it.

Had so much fun but always spend so much on food i recommend getting a stamp to re-enter and getting food outside the fair

Great activities, games, rides , food and friendly staff !!!

We go almost every year to try new foods. Can't leave without tasting the Mexican funnel cake...it's great

Lots to see and lots to do, take your own water tho, this place is expensive but sometimes it's worth it

First time going, it was pretty great, lots of good food, highly recommend going if you have time

Went here for an event over the weekend, nice place, good buildings for smaller concerts, overall I liked it and would consider going to other events held here.

I heard so many great things about the swapmeet, I was disappointed. It's small and not a variety of shops. Had a good time walking around.

The fair was fun. Great food, prizes, and good company, I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Nice, think other venues are better. But who can complain about a beautiful California night.

Fun rides, great fair food, a little Expensive but not pocket emptying

It was super fun. Went with my boyfriends family, lots of different food, games and rides. Bring cash though because it is a pretty penny. Over all a fun experience for the family

I went to the Happy Together concert & it was amazing!! Had a ball!!

Great place to eat on your cheat day. Fair entrance fee was okay. The food pricing was alright as well. But the games and rides I felt like was a complete rip-off. There was no option for wristband and for thrill rides can be up to 20 tickets per Ryder . So for our family of three after one ride and each playing a game we went through our 100 tickets which was $50. Amusement parks are way better for the money. However we did enjoy the breast cancer awareness Derby that was very entertaining.

Had a great time at the Winterfest. Plenty of things for family to do. We will be back next year!

Who doesn't love the gun show? The Orange County fairgrounds gun show is by far one of the best I've been to I'm sad to see a lot of vendors are not going anymore Mainly due to California as ridiculous laws

Awesome time!! Parking was ridiculous, with that being said parked a few blocks away took Uber in for $5 best decision all night. Can't wait to go again next year!

The Orange County fair is not open tuesdays despite what Google says.

Took our child here and bought an all day ride bracelet! So much fun and he got his money's worth in rides! So many rides for young children and do baby great activities, as well as good music. Needed more places to sit,but otherwise it was a great time! Canny wait till next year!

If the parking lot staff actually did something besides talk to each other, this event location would be perfect.

There really was not much food options....felt like there should have been more than your typical southern food or mexican food.

Fun annual event for the family. Lots of interesting food options, games and attractions. It's a good place to spend half the day. Remember to bring lots of money cause the fair food is expensive and games and rides cost quite a bit of money too. Parking can be crazy. If you want to avoid the worst traffic dont exit Fair Dr. Exit earlier or later and circle around to Fairway before turning onto Fair Dr.

It's fun but a bit of a car to reach the whole family

Lovely worth the visit
A beautiful experience

Fun for my 3 year old. Food overpriced. Don't waste money on bands for kids below 36in.

won tickets for eaRly event.it was winter wonderland.great night

This year's opening day was not well planned. Come in people!

Very fun place to hang out with friends or family. There's a lot of places to cool down if you don't want to be in the sun the whole time. The rides are pretty great, but sometimes expensive. The food is also... not the healthiest, but what do you expect

Is a nice fair, tons of food and fun games for the whole family

Needs more trees or shaded areas. Buildings were too hot.

Venue was amazing, lots and lots to do. Rides and cost per game was a bit much. 10 tickets per game is a rip off. My only concern would be that. You pay for parking, you pay to enter, you pay to play the games, eat etc. Be ready to spend money.

They had some amazing rides there. The cantinas place was super busy but everyone was having a great time. My michelada was not what I expected but I enjoyed it. Great music really makes you want to dance! I loved the lord section and adult section.

Some really good events here. We go to Reef-A-Palooza every year here but the Swap Meet is great and Fair is not to shabby as well.

OC fair is a great time. Be prepared to spend alot of money though.
