Ohio Expo Center & State Fair Reviews

The Expo Center, the Ohio History Museum, is a great way to spend an afternoon!

No real complaints. Parking staff and event staff were nice.

Was in attendance at Arnold Expo...well run and staffed

Is was a very great place congratulations for States and the employees are very great they have done a great job,I love the place

Went to watch niece in a horse riding competition and the arena had nowhere for me to park my wheelchair. Also, there wasn't any parking being permitted on the south of 17th Ave, so I had to park almost a mile away from the where the event was taking place.

Attended the American Quarter Horse Association Annual Congress and found the Expo Center and State Fair facilities very accommodating and well maintained. Look forward to returning next year!

Great venue to explore the many facets that Ohio agriculture has to offer all in one place.

I don't recommend holding an event here. So many better places in columbus.

I've always loved going to the fair since I was a little kid. I always make sure to do three things. Get a big cup of lemonade, get a funnel cake and ride the big slide.

Getting smaller. Venders to busy on their cell phones and don't take care of customers. They lost a hot tub sale.

Love the fair! One of the biggest in the country with a mile long midway.

Parking was fair and the event was great. Would visit again.

Fun place to take the kids. There's many free activities for families in the natural resources area such as fishing, kayaking, air gun shooting, archery, an aviary and butterfly exhibit. There are many food vendors, the food can be overpriced at times. The rides are fun, it's worth it to get an all day ride wrist band. The games are fun, but expensive for the quality and options of prices that can be won. Overall, great place to hang out for the day with friends and family.

We went early and it wasn't really crowded or too hot! Butter astronauts?!?

Saw trevor noah. Great show. Very tight seats for tall people

The RV and Boat show is a great time to look at the new styles.

More to see and do than you can do in a day. And don't get me started on the food. We have been there for the last 22 year's. Bucket list for sure.

Excellent food, entertainment and ride options. Good layout. Fun times!

Planned a vacation ahead of time and finalized it while there. Better arrangement of vendors should be looked at. Convention Center is a better venue

Nice place the show said free parking it still cost five dollars and had to walk a mile with my hadicap thing in my pocket

Dirty restrooms. Bad concession areas. Not a great facility. The vendors who out on events here are great though.

Love going to the state fair! You have to see the butter cow exhibit and the Ohio Dept of Natural Resources exhibit. The honey bee farmers are also awesome! There's is so much to do and plenty of food choices!

Wether it's the fair, or other large events, the place is always well maintained. Very conveniently located just north of down town Columbus off of I71

Awesome experience for the Oddities and Curiosities Expo! Would love to visit it in full swing for the state fair.

Took residents of nursing home they had a great time.

Lots of food, rides, animals, entertainers, concerts and handicapped accessible. Wheelchair and scooter available to rent.

Very much good, good amount of rides, much fun for kids

False advertising as far as the kids train ride! What they had was a joke!

There is always something interesting going on. Plenty of parking.

I walked all around the fairgrounds and enjoyed people watching, seeing lambs and the marketplace. We both ate a pork chop on a stick which was wonderful. 51 years later I still love the fair.

It is hard to dislike such a huge fair with so much to do when it can cost so little for admission and food. You just gotta know where to find your stuff. Kroger typically sells cheaper tickets and theirs even hot dogs you cab get for a dollar.

Had a great time at the train show. Lots of kids activities.

Always enjoyable. Great food and my kid enjoys the rides. We normally spend around 5 hours here.

Start off in the youth center until the rides open. Plenty of STEM activities for kids to do and stay entertained. Also good to go into to get a break from the sun.

Lots of vendors selling things and companies with booths to get you to sign up for their product. Plenty of free things passed out from these guys.

The funnel cake and corn dog is always a must.

Good thing to know you can bring in your own water bottle. We refilled ours at the water fountains in the buildings.

First time here and I had a lot of fun. Tack for days and days at the Quarter Horse Congress.

I love going to the Winterfair here. There are so many amazing fine artists.

Metal Detectors at the fair? Not what it used to be :(

Prices to high for what they had.. who would pay $1000. For dolls that would just end up in someone's closet on shelf.

I have always enjoyed going to it. The food is great and lots of excitement

The Ohio State Fair is one of the most wonderful things to happen to me and I'm so glad it exists.

Fishing expo was very good except for the vendors that had nothing to do with sports. The speakers were excellent.

To congested....Overcrowded....Sound system for Kane Brown was terrible.

Entertaining place to be if you've never been before! The butter sculptures were pretty cool. Unlike interacting with the animals too. Couldn't find a clean bathroom though.

Better than last year, but 10.00 to park was a bit high

Graduated here, very large in air conditioned building! Bring water! Lol

We had a good time at the fair. We went the day after the tragic accident on one of the rides so attendance was low. The Food was good, you have to try the Oreo buckeyes.

My first time and it was nice, but the information desk gave out the wrong direction. Ugh!

Went to The Ohio History Museum, very nice, much more than we expected!

The facilities are so large, they can move fully-grown trees inside! There are good stage spaces, restrooms, food areas, and exits too.
