OC Fair & Event Center Reviews

Went for gun show, handicap parking was 1/4 mile from gate, refused to refund parking when we left. Not a sue happy person, but I think a call to an ADA ATTORNEY is in order.

Excellent variety of games, food and entertainment.

The OC night market was fun. However, slightly disappointed to the vendors line up. Expected a little better selection.

Fun place. Has really grown in size compared to previous years. There is beer everywhere, and I mean everywhere. Pretty cool place.

This fair is huge so much to do so many rides, games and food stands
It gets super packed with people

We go every year for the food, exhibits,rides n games and entertainment.

Loved the live band karaoke. Tons of vendors selling things to women. Fashion, makeup, clothing, hair products, purses, jewellery cleaning. Very few selling anything men would be interested in. Where are the car cleaning, make oriented vendors?

Terrible! We spent two hours at the event just trying to get parking. The signs and staff for parking lead us blocks away in a nonsensical path. We completely missed the demolition derby we had come to see, despite leaving three hours of time.

Once inside, everything is overpriced. I expect a fair to be expensive, but a ride for a single person on the ferris wheel is $7. The food was more reasonable, though pricey.

Overall I had a terrible experience and wouldn't return.

Totally let us down in comparison to the LA county Fair! We went looking for the vendors and there wasn't much to buy like they have in LA county Fair. It did have a lot more food options and rides. I really enjoyed the Strawberry party shake because it tasted like a fresh strawberry and ice cream shake, they had cute succulents everywhere and their best part was the My fair selfie station they had had a blast there more than the entire fair lol I didn't like that you couldn't even buy VIP parking because they said u can only purchase it ahead of time and online. Then the signs said all cash to pay parking and our line was stuck for a long while bc they were accepting credit cards I thought it was clearly all cash. I had spent almost an hour driving around trying to enter the parking premises with the dumb way they set up parking entrances to on top of that wait another hr bc they didn't respect the whole cash only parking fees

Great event space! We loved the drive thru fair food and it was amazing!!!

Love taking my granddaughter to the fair. Great one in one time.

Fun, food n good times! Parking is a nightmare and disorganized though.

Expensive, expensive, expensive. It is one expensive place.

Seems almost more crowded than Disneyland, parking is horrible, rides are expensive, and not much variety for foods. The same food place is all over.

It's always fun to go to the fair. Good food and fun rides! Good for everyone of all ages.

The accessibility to the event for the handicap was amazing! Thank you for such great planning our family appreciated it, many thanks!

Happy New Year. Losar Tashi Delek. Om Mani Padme Hum Hrih

I have been there for the first time, and I had such a great time there!

Went to the fair ... ate way too much like always.
I gotta stop doing that.
It s miserable seriously...
You would think I would learn after doing it every year. Unicorn leg? Really? It s a Ham.
Dumb! Why would anyone order that?
yes it was good...

Next year someone stop me please. Anyone there is fine.

Entertainment for animals lovers, extress for animals. Too huge, too massive. The shows and activities are ok, no very impressive, it is for kids. The food too expensive.

Fun rides and lots of delicious eats although not all that healthy. You gotta live a day or two here and there

Fun but a bit expensive. Many rides and farm animals.

Great annual fair and event space. As most venues is this type parking can be a hassle so give yourself enough time to park. The animal fair is well organized and has things to do for all ages. Tons of food with always some crazy fried surprise dish.

job fair. did meet very nice woman at job fair in pretty outfit

Had a great time. They had more things to do and see. They even allowed you to bring your own dog for 10.00.

Carnival games are very expensive. Very hard to keep track of how much money you're spending because you purchase tickets.

Wasn't very good this year so few people there my niece couldn't even ride on a few rides because she was by herself... literally no one in line or even nearby to go on some of the rides.

Went for a pet expo. Place with big clean a lot of boots a lot of food to choose from.

So much goes on here, gotta pay attention to what's coming up

One of my wife and I favorite events. The Orange County Fair is always tons of fun, lots of great food, amazing rides, very safe and lots to do. Even the animals are very friendly and well taken care of. Love the Demolition Derby so much fun.

I enjoy attending the oc fair each year. It's tons of fun for the kids

Great place for shopping and walking around
Awesome place to obtain the perfect gifts for any occasion and socializing. The snacks are yummy

Nice to walk around & see all the different Vendors.

Annual Scottish Festival for everyone! Scot or not, you will enjoy the festivities, vendors, costumes and heritage info. Haggis and mash isn't for everyone but there are many variables and food for all your taste buds. Gathering of the Clans for competition of the Highland Games! Prizes for the winners and fun for the spectators! Bagpipe competitions all Tartan clad and impressive to behold! See you there!

It was honestly so fun and there's so much to do! I did get some bruises on my ribs from a ride so definitly chose them carefully if you're going to ride something

They have a great educational programs they get tours from different schools teaching our new generation about the old ways of farming and they also have different types of events like dog and bird shows also home improvement shows
A must attend

A great place for the event that happened this past weekend; awesome parking spots and a very clean site

Hands down the worse experience I've ever had dealing with people working at a family place. The people operating the rides and games are SO EXTREMELY RUDE. My 2 year old couldn't go on a ride so ok no biggie. The guy working it insisted on repeatedly telling my daughter "NO!" And GLARRING at her while blocking the door like she was a grown man trying to break it in. She was just standing there holding my hand, starring at him with no clue what was going on. (Shes scared of men she doesn't know so thanks for adding to that sir) He snapped at me and my friend multiple times, which i really don't care about, but when your rude to my 2 year old for no reason then we have a big problem. This was just one example.
2 stars though for the 2 nice workers I met that I really appreciated and for the food.
I don't think ill be selling people on this place any time soon.

OC Fair is a must Lots of good food and rides. The music is always good.

Very big them park like Fair. Some of the staff that was there were giving us a hard time for absolutely no reason. Things can get pricey in there. Take walking shoes. You will also get wet. Some of the rides do get pretty intense so try to eat after the big rides. You pay for entrance, parking, and tickets.

Gets smaller every year and so expensive. I still enjoy going but still a disappointment.

Impossible parking never made it inside venue gave up

Best County Fair I have ever been to in my life! Food stands, blue ribbon bakery competition and lots of farmers. Woo to the hoo!

No,scary at all. Waiting long time for nothing,very disappointed

Love it. Come every year. Just bring the cash everything is expensive

Very enjoyable and good pre
cios

Such a big fair ..really nice tbh the food isint that great though so you might want to catch a bite before

Its
fun

Went to a show here. Fun.. but the set up and map areas were very confusing. Stages were meh, only one good performer the whole night.

I had many years..i didn't come..but it was great idea with my son..in this year..we enjoyed...alot

Tasty food, great monster truck show and fun rides!

Beautiful place an unforgettable experience good food family atmosphere and good security

Love the OC Fair. I come over 2000 miles to go every year if I can. Deep fried avocado and Oreos are my favorite!

Fun little winterfest. Food was expensive but we had a nice time and fun playing in the snow

It is a very nice place and apart from that it is a lot of fun.

Love going to the swap meet, free parking, cheap to get in and nothing like spending money on things you don't need.

It was fun for the grandchildren which makes me happy to see
