Ohio Expo Center & State Fair Reviews

The new Cardinal Center at the Ohio State Fairgrounds is very nice.

Best place to see a concert, visit the fair or go to Quarter Horse Congress!

You definitely have to go to the Oktoberfest in Columbus.

A great event we visit rvery 2 to 3 years. Good ideas for the coming landscaping season.

Wonderful big fair! County Fair are fun but the state Fair is next level. Animals, merchants, games, shows, live entertainment, crafts, food, candy, desserts, parade, you name it they got it.

First-time ever at the State Fair. It was a fun filled day. I will DEFINITELY be back next year.

Everything is overpriced. I took my 5 small children. It was too hot and they didn't want to ride. Spent most of our time in air conditioned buildings.

Fun times, it's the fair! Take in the food, and the people! Don't miss the rib cookout on Tuesdays.

It really is a very large and spread out place. Nice, newer and clean. If you go to a busy event here, go early to secure parking.

This was an excellent family outing. We have attended every year for the last 30 years with the exception of last year due to the tragedy.

Fun time had by all. Lots of options for food & games. Nice & clean bathrooms.

Impossible to get into the the actual building I needed to get to, once there the Ladies were so helpful and they went out of their way to help me.Outstanding and should be rewarded accordingly. Thank you!

A great place for the Arnold Kids Expo. Even saw Arnold there enjoying watching the kids have fun too.

German fest. I like the one but home in the Cincinnati area. But over all i had a nice time. Faces in my beer.

When Reba McEntire is on stage ... she can make any Arena a 10 Star!

Visited on the occasion of the Chinese lanyefnw show really nice!

It was a great time and too much to see.
It's the best place for families.

I was here to work quarter horse congress and the staff and facilities were excellent. Directions around the grounds were slightly confusing

Went there for a concert during the Ohio State Fair.Very crowded,but,had a good time!

We went to see the Ohio Chinese Lantern Festival which was wonderful. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Unfortunately, it was very cold out that night but I'm not sure that I missed one Lantern. The show that was being performed was also very good. I purchased VIP tickets for the event for just a couple of dollars more and it was well worth it we even received a souvenir. The artist that had things on display there was very wonderful and the artwork was beautiful.

Ohio State Fair it's huge. So much more to do and eat than at county fairs.

Great place for all ages and to hang out with the family

Huge Convention center.. Professionally Maintained..

Easy to get to,easy parking for the event we attended

It was a great place and it was big the only thing that made it crazy was the weather but definitely going to the next Breakaway bash next year can't wait

Went here for the Good Guys car show, always a good time.

A Wonderful time to be had by all! I love going here every year. Great entertainment and food!

Love the fair grounds! For any event large mostly clean somewhat muddy if you're going to be outside I would wear boots. Otherwise s great place

I only go here for the Ohio State Fair but I like the facilities and it's always kept clean

Soooo outdated and baron...needs facelift and re-vamp locker rooms!!
for what they want to charge at concessions...shhssh

Busy for being the last day! Kids had a good time. Tickets were too high imop but the fair is the fair. Food was terrific as always.

Parking is confusing when there are 3 things happening at the same time

It was so nice when I went to the equine affaire every thing was perfect. Only trouble was finding how to get in due to some construction.

The fair is expensive but the kids had a ball riding all the rides. $25 wristbands are worth the purchase

This was my first time to a State Fair ,Awsome experience

Awesome open place for a concert. The warehouse setting feels cool when seeing shows.

Went on a Friday afternoon while most people were working. Perfect time to go

Saw the Shriners Circus, very fun and the ticket office COMPED us ringside seats when all I asked was could they seat me to where I could leave my son in his stroller and him still see!! I was totally willing to pay but they insisted and everyone was SUPER NICE!

Home is where the heart is here. Great people. Good and healthy food w/ the best cooks in Columbus Oh.

We stopped in for the Chinese Lantern Festival. It was beautiful, we loved it. Hope to do it again next year

Went for the Oddities expo and had a blast with my girlfriends. Can't wait to return next year!

I went to Ohio Columbus fair it was the greatest 20 years ago

Had one hell of a time finding the buckeye building! Wasn't on the directory!

Fun, plenty of stuff to do. Cool rides and nice food( a little overpriced for my liking).

Event for my barter group IMS Christmas expo. Good parking and plenty of room inside.

Wasnt very good this year but will be there next year

Fresh food all the time, very clean. Not a lot of reused cooking oil. After tried different places, this is definitely the best chinese food in the area.

Parking is ridiculous, amount and options and marking of location s

Congree overwhelming
It's huge

Depends what the exhibition inside..
Huge place, annoyingly you pay 6$ for parking.

There is (speakers) outside on the grounds which was added a lot t the atmosphere.

We went in November and certain areas outside we're muddy.

Out standing show great bargains well worth the trip!!!

I love fairs! This one is huge and had lots of interesting things to see.
