OC Fair & Event Center Reviews

My first time at the pacific amphitheatre in costa meaa. Love the approximate 8,000 max capacity seating. Not surrounded by nature like the Greek Theatre in griffith park but it is a nice venue. PLENTY OF PARKING. I saw earth wind and fire from the 6th row. What seats and sound. The concession is not food oriented like the Hollywood bowl where you can bring in your picnic coolers. The sound system is pretty good. Wasnt sitting up far behind therefore not really critical. Will definitely go to the venue again.

Pretty much a summer time event all the time! Go visit! It's gonna be hot!

The OC fair is always a good time. I won a goldfish

Always something and the farm with whats ever is left if the museums.

Lots of food and fun. Music and award winning crafts. Worth the trip.

We care Wednesday!!! My entire family had so much fun !!!

Fun place to go for the fair or other events (OC Night Market, etc.)

Interesting, fun place with lots of eating options. More seating areas to sit and eat would be helpful.

I love this place and all the entertainment with my Super Pass.

Food is a bit pricey, recommended you bring cash, comfortable foot wear

Long line to get into parking lot. 25 minutes to go through security.

Cirque du Soleil luzia it's absolutely amazing come back soon

Wow we had a blast! 1st time we have ever seen a show there. I won tickets on fb, to go see the cherry popping daddy's and the stray cats. And they did an amazing show

Great variety of food, nothing else other than that

Not the same as it was 10 years ago. I bought a lot if my silk plants & furniture there. There's nothing there anymore... Sad!

First time going to the dirt bike races and on Harley Davidson night to boot. I had a blast and I highly recommend going. Every seat in the house is great

This is always a good relaxing time for the weekend shopping and a blast when the fair is in town

First time at the OC Fair and I was in a food coma from the smells alone.

Definitely enjoyed the fact food, fried twinkies we're better than a fried ganzito but both delicious. So much great tasting food and delicious frozen treats.

smaller version of l.a. fair without the heat and crowds

Yo can enjoy a day at the fair and after a concert in the amphitheatre

Huge variety of things to do and food to eat for the entire family, not to mention the first day that i went had free parking and entrance

It s well organized and they have lots of vendors. My only suggestion would be to have more food vendors.

I am a Vendor G Sweets Bakery. I sell Authentic Italian Cookies

I try to go when the sun is down and its cooler and when the crowds are down.

Take the bus there to save 20 bucks in parking and 10 dollars in admission! Save the stubs for Ventura or the Sunday marketplace

We had a great time visiting all the different exhibits and animals. All the fun food they have is way over priced like it is every year.

I actually liked it more than the last year's.
Everything was as great. Great food, great exhibits, I'm glad that I came.

If you come on a weekend between ten to eleven, you pay only three bucks per person which is totally worth it!

The grilled chicken/naked shrimp in half a pineapple as the bowl was tasty! Loved it!

Have fun shopping with my family been going there for many many many years when we lived in California

Awesome fair was sent by my company to work they have monster trucks pig races and livestock some cool rides and exhibits the food choices are also really good highly recommend visiting

Too crowded too expensive starting with parking lot

Very good and you can buy the pass for all games since they open until 1 in the afternoon you can use it

Awesome place for the fair as well as concerts and much, much more fun for the entire family!

Music music music... I only go here for music.
There is boxing... that's rad.
I also have seen a lot of great annual festive activities come through here too.

It was great! Loved that from where ever one seats, you have a good view of the stage. Easy in and out when going to the event!

It was a pretty convenient location , alot of parking

It took an hour to get of the freeway and park. Great times.

Always a great Fair. Parking and entering the fair were very easy, Event staff kept the lines moving, very little wait. Fair venues and grounds were clean and safe. This year seemed to be the cleanest and safest forever.

So many great things come here. Can be a cause of traffic but not a huge deal unless the actual fair is on. See cool stuff can be see here for sure tho when the gem show or fun shows come to the area they almost always go through here.

The best fair I've been to, the weather is good & they have the best beer selection of any fair I've been to.

Lots of food and beer... cheeehooo!!! Not as much rides for the kids though compared to the LA and Del Mar fair. The food is so Plentiful. Bring lots of money and be hungry so this fair will be worthwhile.

I loved the car show. I was always amazed of the 50-60's American cars.

Fantastic place I went for a Christmas holiday party and I had a great time big places lots of space

This is a place I have been attending since I was in 5th grade I am now 27 and will continue the tradition

It's very sad how small the swap meet is now. They have completely rearanged all the vendors so finding your favorites is frustrating. Also it's really only a third of the size it used to be. Sad to see an Orange county staple slowly dieing out.

It's a little larger in the summer months with more vendors selling. However it is always fun to go for a few hours and shop and eat.

a very familiar place and fun attractions for all ages and a variety of food and fun

Concert events have always been hassle free. VIP parking is a plus to avoid parking problems. Seating is a little close for my liking, but sound and view of stage area is good.

I recommend this place for families! There's plenty of fun to be had by everyone! 2 petting zoos, fair rides, alligator viewing, lots and lots of shopping and browsing, livestock viewing, etc. I recommend using the OCTA OC Fair Express. $2 each way and you get a voucher for $3 admission!

The fair is a fun place to bring the family. There's games, rides, exhibits, and lots and lots of food. If you come on weekends take the OC Bus from several locations. It's a non-stop ride and only costs $4 round trip. They give you a voucher for $4 fair admission. There's also deals on Wednesdays to get in half price just check out the website. The fair is smaller than the one at the Del Mar race track but it's still lots of fun.
