Ohio Expo Center & State Fair Reviews

I have been to the fair every year of my life. I love people watching and riding rides. I love all the crazy merchandise!!!!

Went to the Indian Festival held down here at the Fairgrounds.... very nice show.

Went for Sonic Temple festival. They postponed the show because of the weather. It was a mere sprinkling... Unlikely to attend an event here again. Foo Fighters came through in the end. You can sliders count on Dave Grohl and the guys.

Beautiful model train setups to see and a lot of really nice things to buy.

I went into the bathroom and a man wearing a yeti mask touched my pee-pee. I left a tenner in his tip jar.

Saw Trevor Noah and it was a very nice venue. Clean, the bathrooms were emaculate for such a big place and the people helping to get us to our seats were friendly and helpful. Totally enjoyed the Celeste Center.

Great venue. Kasich Hall. Clean. State gymnastics tournament. You could see all the events.

Attended Shriners circus. Excellent production. I enjoy the activity each year.

Handicap parking (accessible parking) was just horrible! You really need to have a direct route....road to get to handicap parking. We were directed by police to just follow the cars. It took us 35 minutes to just get to the "accessible parking" for the handicap. We were told to park and ride in the wagon to the entrance. We had two people who could not walk or climb steps. Make a way that a car with a visible handicap placard can be directed to the handicap parking lot and not around in circles. Once in the fair grounds it was enjoyable to see everything that we could.

Had a great time. Had some Old Time Photos done. Ate Fair food

Is actually. Lot of fun just be careful for some of the booths, later that become obvious spam

I park for Crew games but getting in and out is a royal pain and pretty overpriced for a flat lot. Would recommend elsewhere, but not any real options - so it is what it is.

ARBA mini convention is something everyone needs to see at least once. Fun time!

I Love the state fair. I am a 4-H leader and the fair is about the kids.. And the fair food, it's like walking around the biggest food court in the world.

This fair was nothing compared to the Erie County Fair in Buffalo. There weren't many eateries here.

We went on a Thursday during the day and there was hardly any wait to get on rides. They had multiple options for food and drinks, and the attractions were great. My family had a great time.

Very fun. Lots of different activities for kids and adults. Very family friendly.

Seen Jon Pardi here last night! Cool venue for a concert!

Had a great time, didn't get to try a lot of the food unfortunately. I will say it was the most efficient exit out of the parking lots we have experienced. We will be back again and get there earlier to try more food!

went to quarter horse congress here and equine affair! family favorite

Love Quarterhorse Congress!! We will be back next year for sure!!

Senior support group is excellent for information, contact support, and games. Really enjoyed the exchanges

Went to the Arnold Open Classic. It was a great event. I participated in some of the martial art events. I highly recommend it!

A very good display of Ohio history and artifacts. Many interactive. One unique display includes a complete, furnished 50s pre-fab house made entirely out of porcelain coated steel. Very cool. You'll need at least two hours. Free parking, $10/person adult admission.

Great place to spend the day with the family. All kinds of food to try. Plus a lot of stuff to see and do.

It's a nice facility. Some of the buildings are aging a little.

Animals, fair food, crafts, young people exhibiting their skills, and rides for those who need that kind of thing.

Dickens Christmas is a wonderful family event. A Christmas celebration in 1898

Nice clean place. Several air conditioned buildings to cool off at.

Amazing. So Many exciting things to do and lots of stuff to eat. Slightly overpriced as most fairs are but overall had an amazing time.

Lot of streets blocked off! my kid told me about police treated her like s***

For people who are fair goers, I image they can really have fun attending next year's. I was there to volunteer for the 4 H group and that was wonderful. Greasy food, not my kind. ODNR still have fishing, very cool.

$25 to park for a concert is beyond ridiculous! Doubt we'll return.

Rock-on-the-Ranges three-day concert brought 46k people to Columbus. What a learning experience! Who knew?

Many events are free, but parking will cost. Bring cash.

The Ohio State fair was a good attraction even in light of the accident from day 1, still had a good turnout especially over the final weekend.

Loved the lanterns and shows. Disappointed with food choices.

Parking was terrible...Back up traffic all the way to 71... All because they understaffed the entrances.

Ohio Expo center and state fair wonderful place for family's and friends to walk around enjoy the games different varieties of foods.
