Ohio Expo Center & State Fair Reviews

Good family fun. Rides, shows, other attractions and typical fair food.

Went for the state fair on a quiet weeknight. not very many kid friendly exhibits were open in the late evening.

A lot of the fair staff was just rude and not paying attention to the rides the way they were supposed to other than that it's a pretty good time

The Oktoberfest is held there annually. Always a good time.

Went to the camper Rv. and boat show. Had a great time lots to see.

Went to the Ohio State Fair this summer for the first time in many years. Was impressed with the Expo Center's facilities and the quality of the programming for the fair.

Very large place so parking is a little confusing. Just ask the parking booth if you are at the right place before you pay.

We visited the home and garden show. It was inspiring.

Entrance and Exiting is a pain. But the place is amazing.

Beautiful, clean, and comfortable temperature inside Hall on a cold winter's morning.

It was warm inside, full of nice exhibits and friendly folks!

It is just an expo center, and it it's pretty big.bring binoculars if you're hoping to see some kind of gymnastics events, you'll need it!

I wish we would have had a better idea of the seating set up when we bought tickets to a show.

I've been coming here since I was a kid & it has yet to disappoint! Great entertainment, food & fun for all ages!!

My wife is in a wheelchair and they brought us chairs so we could all sit on the floor to whatch the event. Wonderful staff!!!!!

My wife and I were visiting Columbus from out of state and attended the fair. Was told this was a must do event. We were rather disappointed. The entire fairgrounds area including the parking was in total disrepair and needs A LOT of updating. Trash was everywhere. This definitely isn t the State of Ohio putting its best foot forward. Spend some money and update your facilities!!!

Who doesn't like over priced fair food. The stalls there were cool. Its great for kids.

This year was less exciting than others. Less vender space and maybe just less variety overall

Very easy to access. Kept very clean. People are quiet nice.

Loved it - my 2 year old was fascinated with the planes. It was a free day and it was a cool experience

Went to the Train Expo. Forgot about the $5.00 parking fee. Exact change too! Gave a couple of bills and a bunch of quarters. Got in and had a good time! Lots of toy trains and some brands I had never heard of

It was a great expo
Winter feast was going on. It a must to see.

We went on the last day as normal but my daughter bought a French Lop bunny so we had to leave early. Then a lot of fights broke out after we left and everyone left early.

Great food, and fun with Fluffy at the OHIo state fair

Not as big as normal shows didn't have any big hunting stars there

Went to see Good Guys auto show. Enjoyed the show and walked over eight miles and still did not see it all.

State fair was great this year. Weather was perfect. Kids had fun.

I came here to do my driving test because of covid. This place is so big we couldn't find the testing area to act 15 minutes later. Place is huge

Visited the Ohio history museum. Interesting place.

This place was pretty cool. It was my first year going and I was impressed. Sadly I was there as everyone was packing up but I could tell how magnificent all the barn decorations were. Food was amazing too and the vendors had everything you could possibly need.

Attended the Ohio State Fair and it's always great. it was extremely hot, but lots to see and tons of people. Lots of fun to be had.

The midway could use more adult rides (especially when compared to many European funfairs), but the fair is well laid out, with tons of things to see, and lots of fair food.

Traffic was bad as always for the fair. Fair food was good. Was there to see fluffy. He was running late and the fair cut him short at the end he didnt even get to finish his set. If your going to pay to have him there at least let him finish even if he does run over.

We had a little issue finding a parking spot but had a great time at the concert.

They locked the gates so locals could not cut through the lot anymore

Good place for concert..but parking and getting in were a nightmare..

Nice venue that is being updated with neccessary amenties.

Expensive, but a really fun date or family outing. Very fun to eat snacks, wander around, and see the animals and displays.

Filthy , good junk food. Midway full of gangs. Our fair has gone to hell. Every once in a while you will find interesting things. The BEST part of the fair is the Nature section
Pretty cool
