OC Fair & Event Center Reviews

Had a great time at the Pacific Amphitheater. It's cozy enough that there really are no bad seats. The bathrooms were clean.

Great food and entertainment! Bring the kids and your wallet!

Why do I have to pay $18 to get in, just to shop there?

There were alot of choices of food. And a fair amount of stalls.

Show was great, venue set up was impressive under tent even with rain. Dr parting parking some what chaotic but overall outstanding evening.

The fair was just okay I typically go to the LA County Fair and it comparison I was not impressed

OC or LA..... Always have soooo much things to do the whole family can enjoy... 1 day is never enough.. & its always worth getting a special package for extra day... its really worth it.... the food... rides... animals... jumpers... beer...... i mean water ....But overall... its freaking great...

The fair is fun and the weekly farmers markets are great

FUN FRIENDLY FAMILY ENVIRONMENT. WE ALWAYS COME EVERY YEAR. A MUST SEE IN SOCAL!

Love the petting zoo! And the pig races are hilarious!!! The vegetable garden is cool too. Great art exhibit. Wildly overpriced food!!! Needs more animal varieties. You can only see the same rabbit so many times.

Make sure to bring water to counteract all of the bad food you will eat. Rides are decent but games are rigged. Great to go with as a group of 5+

1st day- had free admission and parking for 3 hours. Didn't ride any rides. Good food!

I love to shop there and to check out the photo gallery!

OC Fair is fun every year. If you're trying to do it on a budget, look at the deals they have. I don't know if an "unlimited" pass is worth it, but certain days you can get in by donating things (school supplies, canned food, clothing, etc.)

Parking is not free, some people know of areas you can get away with, or even the schools close by are cheaper, but I recommend you just pay the $10 fee.

Be ready to spend money if you want to eat, play, or ride anything. And YOU WILL.

Didn't find what I was looking for. Better deals on ammos and accessories

Absolutely overpriced! NO variety of food and drink vendors, the games are very obviously rigged (random chance). Security was worryingly lax. The cover band was a highlight (but the band is responsible for their performance, shame that I can't leave them a review). Having been to other authentic and reasonably priced fairs, this was a sad disappointment. Heed this review...

Loved Centennial Farm at the Orange county fair grounds. The milking was nice to see but it would have been better if the man milking would have washed the udders before attaching the milkers as the signage says. An explanation for what was happen would have also.been nice so the children would have at least known where the milk went after it was in the pail.

Fun place to spend for an afternoon. Don't forget turkey leg.

This place died down,
Smaller then other ordinary markets

Love going to the concerts. Great venue every seat is good!

BRANDON helped lower our bill, great help, glad we stopped by to talk.

Cool artwork and great fun. If you are a street food lover and like innovative pop art, then this is definitely the place to be. The variety of foods represent many different cultures and all of it is descroumptious!! (I'll let you figure that word out...he he)

Not much to enjoy, too over priced for horrible small portioned food

We had fun. Overall, everything pretty expensive! Including the rides

Fun the first time, but same vendors every year. Needs different food vendors. Food prices rising out of control. Same vendors inside the buildings too.

Taste of the Fair! Always adds to a fun experience.

Great place to bring the family. Love the animals.

The food was expensive, as were the rides. I liked the exhibits...but it was expensive.

I have loved this rv park fur years. Perfect location in OC. Best deal!

Always great events going on here. Fairs, concerts, swap meets and races. Don't forget the farm! Fun for all!

Always a fun day/night and I continue to look forward to it each year. Entry fee is fairly priced but inside food, drink, and games can add up pretty quickly so just be aware that it can be an expensive date night if you're not paying all that much attention. Great people watching and fun environment to walk around in. Looking forward to the next time already!

Always something going on here. It costs a bit much to basically go look at benders to be honest. Paying to go shopping is a bit much. We don't go as offer as we would like because to pay $8 to park and the $8 - $12 to enter per person is way to much.

To expensive,we rode 4 rides costed 200$ dollars,we were their an hour and a half

You're average fair with decent food rides etc. If you get a chance make sure to catch the pig races!

We went for the Centennial Farm discovery day. They did a great job. My kids God to plant radish seeds, learn about the incubation of a baby chick, and pet baby chicks. They had lots of volunteers ready with information and a couple of small events, like cow milking. My kids had a blast.

Every time I am in Orange County we have to go the the OC Swap Meet. Best place to. It coffee, bagels and produce.

#deepfried everything... rides, shows, crafts, entertainment, music and more.. the ocfair is a must do for orange county summer fun! Lots of weekly and weekend deals too.

Amphitheatre great for concerts. Fair itself has lis to see and do.

These days, there's a fair number of spaces that are empty. There's still a few vendors that we will make the trip to visit, but it isn't the swap meet that we used to look forward to visiting.

They have Asians doing flips, a hypnotist and lemonade. The highlight of life on Earth.

Was a lot of fun, music, food and fun for everyone :)
