    Free entry. I did not mind spending money since everything was a fund raising for the schools or other causes.

    I had a good time at the OC Fair. I went during the day with my family and came back at night with…read morehabibi. I bought the tickets online. Check in was smooth. Security lines were long but went quickly. The fair is huge! So much to see and do. All the outrageous fair food you could ask for, along with vegan food options! The information booth worker was nice and helpful. She knew exactly where the vegan food booth was and directed us right where we needed to go. I was not expecting the vegan food options at the booth to be that good. Everything was delicious, including the churro flavored vegan ice cream sandwich. Even though there was only one dedicated vegan food booth, most stands had a non-meat and/or vegetable option. If you're vegetarian, you have even more options. There were multiple aguas frescas booths, much to my delight. They were very refreshing. My little cousin did most of the riding of rides while us adults just vibed. I did get on the Ferris wheel with him though. That's when I could see just how far the fair spanned. (There are 3 Ferris wheels spread out across the fairgrounds.) Lots of people. Can be expensive if you're buying food and ride tickets for a family. Open late on weekends.

    Saw the advertisement on TV that OC Fair is coming to the area between July 17-August 16. The…read moreminute I saw that, I told my son WE ARE GOING before the 16th of this month!! I love things like this..Amusement parks, arcades, rides etc.. So on July 29th at 3:05 pm, we entered their HUGE parking lot and parked our car very near to the Fair. Parking was $15.00 even. Which I thought was not too bad for parking. I have seen worse. Approached the Will Call window to pick up our tickets that we have purchased on line 2 weeks prior. $12.00 each. Prices are different for adults, seniors and kids. Once we got inside the Fair, my adrenaline was kicking SO bad out of excitement. My son was just standing there looking at me with a cute smile. I am more of a kid when it comes to stuff like this than he is. We decided to get a wristband for both of us. Each cost $54.00 for unlimited rides, few games and other attractions. We practically got on every ride and played few games. The place has 2 Amphitheaters. From which one was the Hanger that I did a different review on for Tom Petty's tribute. It has over 50 rides and 30 games to play. Also has little snack shops all around, but not an actual restaurant for people to sit down and have lunch/dinner.. It also has multiple restrooms inside and outside of the Fair.. Used 3 of them and were super clean with all the essentials fully stocked. Park was very clean, not too crowded and had a great vibe to it from everyone. 90% of employees were kind, sweet, and very helpful. They have a different section for Art exhibits that is really worth checking it out. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and the park is open until 11pm for our convenience. We shot down the park and left 10 minutes before 11pm. I am so glad and happy that we went. If I lived close by, I would probably be there at least 3x a week. We were able to cover so much, but there was still a lot to cover/discover. Had SO much fun.... Thank you all very much, until next year...:-))))))

The venue is roomy, clean and safe. There's a bar/ restaurant area you can order food and plenty of space with couches to watch racers. Staff is friendly and service is great! The teens opted for 3 races at $70/racer. They also had a package where you can get a K1 tshirt & 2 races at $70/racer. Great team building event space for employers & adults too! Definitely coming back!

When you walk in, it's a little confusing at first since it's not super clear where to go and the place is pretty spacious. We initially went to the cashier, and they directed us to the computers on the side to sign the waivers first, then come back to pay. After we paid, they told us the wait would be about 30 minutes, but surprisingly they called our names within just 2 to 3 minutes while we were still walking around. That was a nice bonus. :) They provided headsocks for free, and we didn't have to pay extra or sign up for any annual membership. Each race is supposed to be 12 laps, but if someone finishes early, you might end up doing less. One of the boys completed 11 laps, but didn't affect the experience at all. As we were exiting, we saw a podium area so kids hopped on for a quick photo. I've been here before for birthday parties and even with coworkers, and every time has been consistently fun. The staff was friendly and everything ran smoothly. Not really sure why this place gets some negative reviews. I haven't experienced anything negative. Would definitely come back.

    My daughter had the most magical mermaid experience! We took her here for her 6th birthday and she…read morehad the absolute best time! Everything was wonderful - they really go above and beyond to make sure your little one has a great experience! Her mermaid was Coral and she was a delight. She made my daughter feel so special. The experience and add-ons can be pricey but it was definitely worth it for how much effort they put into it and how great of a time my daughter had. The only thing I would say is that no one did tell us that we needed needle nose pliers to remove the metal clips on the hair braids when she was ready to take them out, and that information would have been nice to have! We found that info with a Google search so it doesn't change the fact that we had an amazing time, but keep in mind that you will need to have pliers to pinch open the hair bands to get them out once you want to remove them. I recommend parking on the mainland and taking the ferry over for an even more magical experience. Overall, we had a great time and I absolutely recommend Once Upon An Island for your special little mermaid!

We went two days for summer camp and both days were a blast! The second day the parents weren't allowed to go back to help them change which was a little weird but I'm assuming because it would've been too many people all at once because that day there were more kiddos. Very sweet and my little one said it was better than Bibbidi bobbidi boutique!
