OC Fair & Event Center Review

They hold many fun and amazing things to do every time of the year. Craft fairs to reptile fairs to their oc fair.

It was not what we expected. A miniature carnival on one side with games and rides & random lights on the other side. Things were really spread apart with not much to do. Went to The Chill in Long Beach last year and it was way better. Don't think I'd return to Winterfest, sorry :(

A lot of programming to see. It can be overwhelming at times but always fun. The haunted house ride was the most disappointing ride I've been on. Talk about a rip off the ride, another rides where fun but a dark ride filled with nothing is lazy.

Whether you are hanging with the crowds, leaning across the fence, jockeying for the best view or you are sitting in the turf club, sipping your drink and being waited on hand and foot, Golden Gate Fields is a great place to go and spend some time.

This center is massive! I went to the annual Vegfest and it was amazing as usual. A lot of space filled with so many vendors, but it never felt overly crowded even though it was a full crowd. Much better than when it was at Orange Coast College.

I come here to go to the orange county swap meet whenever I get down to Southern California love it . It's basically an open air market with new products.

The fair isnt my type of thing but its become a family tradition 3 years going now. For way stuff is way way waaaayyy over priced. Its a cash grab for sure. But it is alot of i guess interesting things to do. Plenty of rides. Shows including a pig race which is definitely a good show. Live animals to go and pet. But i suppose the biggest thing to do is enjoy the food. So many different types of food which are both delicious and some weird combinations of things that i guess embodies the fair. Idk. Be prepared to spends lots and lots of money if u wanna have fun.

Cool place to go. Lots to do. Stay away from the CA Lottery booth though! Spent 400 bucks on scratchers and just won a few free tickets. Lame.

Fair is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Fair ends on Sunday, Aug. 12. There's things for all ages. Best part is getting a cinnamon roll. Food, in general, is overpriced, and in many cases, not good for you. Lots to see, time goes by very fast.

Orange County County Fair is just a little too small and not enough excitement

Lots and lots of delicious food, and rides are pretty cool with super fast speed. You will still feel very enjoyable even just stand there and watch other people taking the rides.

Family fun and a variety of alcoholic drinks but mainly for children

OC FAIR, fun place to go with the family and enjoy the free entertainment they have. $10 for parking is not that bad. But the food inside is a bit expensive! ! They have a lot of animals you can feed and pet. Will go back soon. Especially on their special promotions on Wednesday s only!

Great entertainment, organized. Staff very helpful.

We were in traffic for one hour to go into the parking lot. When we got to the gate, it was full and had to wait till cars leave to let us in. Waited another 15 minutes, did not move one inch. I made a u-turn to leave the area and go home. I was stuck again in traffic trying to get out of the area and the freeway. It took 45 minutes to take the freeway. So 2 hours and 15 minutes wasted for nothing. Horrible experience. I will never ever go there again!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coming from a different country, it's my first time to go on a county fair.

Tons of people can be seen from the entrance. You can touch the animals, take photos with them, etc. There's also shows like the pig race and turkey stampede. A lot of food stalls can be seen-- everything fried: fried Twinkies, fried zucchini, funnel cake, onion rings, french fries, fried frog legs . They have turkey legs, smoked ribs, barbecues and kebabs too. There's 3 ferris wheel, bazaars, art fair and cooking demos.

We went home around 7pm and there's still many people going in.

i don't like the food and the games there and my son was mad

Hav'nt been there for a couple years.they are currently remodeling.had to do a lot of searching but i finally found the killer jerky stand.

Awesome family/friends event. They really have made an awesome attempt at cleaning up the venue!!!

Again, great venue. Parking could/should be better (less $ and better service)

The fair was okay. They did not have as many vendor buildings as Pomona Fair

OC Fair 2019 Each year this has been a fam thing and we love it. The rides, the food, the shows... this is a must stop for anyone in southern Ca. Check it out and try to fried food sweets

Great place to have a smaller event, but, the sound was not very good inside. Love the VIP area & all the photo op sets they had out! Had a great time at the Boo Ha Ha Festival bartending for a great cause...Big Brothers, Big Siters Foundation!!

Shoutout to Julio at the Verizon Booth at the OC fair! Helped us with the new promotions going on and was able to decrease our bill. Amazing customer service for being able to go beyond our expectations and care for my husband and I.

Came for a concert, still think San Diego's county fair is better (but that's just me).

It's always fun to check out the local fairs! I'd definitely recommend the blooming onion. Parking is pretty cheap and so is the entrance fee. Not so much with the rides/games, so if you've got kids, be prepared to shell out!

We come home every summer to visit and take the kids to the fair. Worth the drive from Phoenix!
