OC Fair & Event Center Reviews

It is really fun, but they can be really expensive too. Plus since the O C Fair is so big, it is really easy to get lost from you family. Why not just have a smaller and cheaper event. But I really how they have other things to do if your not into fair games or rides ( like me ), they have other things for you to do.

Avoid at all costs. It s a cheap, dirty place that will nickel and dime you at every turn. Each ride and game is 5$ on average and the food is over priced as well. The food is junk quality and the rides are all some variation of spinning / nausea-inducing trash. Any major theme park will be cheaper and more enjoyable than this cesspool. Unless you love being exploited and wasting money, I would recommend looking elsewhere for an outing.

I ride here normally but I love to go to the fair! Not too crowded but they could label some of the gates better, there is so much room which feels nice you don't feel crammed (unless you are at the fair)

I like to go there at least once a year...great food

Never a dull moment, this is one of the cleanest and safest fairs in California by far.

We love the Orange County Fair. There are so many fun things to do... the pig races, the food, the entertainment, the rides the shopping, the overall feel.. it's so inviting and so entertaining. Good clean fun. I recommend going on a Thursday morning right when it opens with the kids, buy a $30 wristband and let them go crazy with unlimited access to all the rides.

Great food and rides. Wish ticket prices were lower

We came here for the OC Night Market ( known as 626 Night Market as well ). The food was amazing and I actually prefer this venue better then the one in Arcadia. Just didnt like the pay for parking but I didnt mind. Will definitely come back again for any other event they have in this fairground.

Fun

Lots of food with varaity

Jurasic Quest. Was fun for kids and adults lots of dinosaurs and rides for kids. It is good idea to buy VIP for kids

So much fun, not as crowded and better family environment compared to LA County Fair

My experience is bad because its just over priced...For example you have to send 3 dollars for a water bottle and most of the games are just rigged

Such a fun place to go in the summer! Yummy food(the BEST funnel cake), fun roller coasters, and live entertainment. I love the little petting zoo with all the cows and other farm animals, so cute.

I wished there had been more room for the arena for the Pow Wow dancers. It kind of took away from the whoever experience of the dance.

Visited during OC Fair. Quite large area for all types of events and fun.

Nothing left there. It is a third the size it used to be.

Saw RATT great f'n Night of Rock n Roll.
Lynch Mob & Tom Kiefer awesome!!

Saw Happy Together Tour at the Pacific Amphitheatre & admission to the fair was included. Bring lots of money & an appetite!

Went for the New Year Tet festival. Despite the rain people were excited and really showed spirit and happiness welcoming in the Year of the Pig. Loved the Lobster and beer. The student groups who volunteered in various capacities did a fantastic job. A real Vietnamese experience in the heart of the OC.

My favorite place to visit every summer! I never miss it!

From swap meet to OC fair to gem fair or the night market, such a variety of fun going on here, they need to go hard on advertising for the swap meet it's gotten alot smaller since I was a kid, but regardless great place

What happened to the OC swap meet. very few vendors not much to shop for. Hope it makes a comeback

Great place, my wife's nieces and nephews loved it.

OC Fair is one of the best fairs ever. Went there to see Bostix at the Hanger. What a great concert and checked out the fair after the concert.

It has been a long time since we have been to the OCFair it was fun.

The OC Fair was one of the best places ever!! I had so much fun with the four friends I went with and it is definitely worth it to buy the $30 wristband. It gets you onto every ride and you have 2 free games. If you are looking to have a good time go to the OC Fair!!

No big deal My family and I when for a classic car show nothing great this is for the swap met also nothing great

That's where I work every Saturday and Sunday. Stop by booth D221 on those two days to taste the fabulous food and drink. ENJOY great REAL TIME PAIN RELIEF lotion while you journey around the 100's of vendors waiting to help you find your wishes.

Enjoyable and pleasurable. A great time for the entire family.

Fabulous event for the whole family thousands of things to see and buy and many attractions to play and people from the exhibitions that comes to offer a variety of things from local and non-local artists .... Very nice everything. But there must be something wrong ... NON-HEALTHY food is a lack of respect for health that does not sell anything rich and healthy everything is greese, heavy, fried and sugary NO GOOD.

Nice views. Things are pricey but that's Orange County in general.

I went to this center during OC fairs. This is a big fair ground. There are a lot of rooms and shade areas for different events and all are well spaced.

Nice big venue for shows and events. Better than Pomona Fairgrounds

Took my girlfriend here and she loves it. Great place for a date, just be sure to bring a loaded wallet.

there's a great wine tasting pavilion during the oc fair. they have thousands of wines rotating through out the course of the fair. sadly, because of neighborhood complaints, they can only stage concerts during the fair @ the pac amp.

Had never went to the Oc Fair. Was nice and had more child friendly rides than any other fair I've been to. Good vibes nd good food :)

The service from Julio at the Verizon booth was Outstanding...he showed us all our options...an exactly what new phone deal we should go with...we purchased 2 new s-9 phones...thanks Julio.... Rick Wheeler...

I can t do 4 or 5 stars just cause it s not the best of of the best attractions. The food is very fun and there is a lot of it. One star
There are the animals and agricultural learning center. One star
It s only $12 to get in. One star

So many people packed in this space not fun.
The price of tickets and rides. Ridiculous.
They had a destruction derby but it cost money.

Overall, totally go. But be willing to spend a good bit of money in food and entertainment.
