We loved it!!! Let's just say, the food, the food, THE FOOD. You immediately walk in and bam! Rows of food! But it was EXTREMELY hot and very packed and veryyyyyy expensive. They had lots of vendors charging incredibly expensive items so it was difficult to get souvenirs. But I really enjoyed how they had sitting/air conditioning stations because the weather was so out of control! Perhaps next time we will go at night. The traffic was craaaaaazy as we were leaving which was around 7 so definitely try going after that! The California Expo was amazing! ANY gadget, furniture, food, jewelry, art product, BUGS, I swear everything you could absolutely fine there! My parents bought a hot tub from there years ago and they are still selling them! Biggest fair ever!!! read more

Came here twice before they took off for the year. Lots to see. I enjoyed their expos and the a/c in there was great! Tons of food to choose from. Didn't have a problem finding something delicious to eat. The problem and why I am only giving them 2 stars is their parking situation. It literally took me 1.5 hours to get out of their parking area. Granted it was Saturday and we left right before they closed for the night. What a disorganized nightmare. This created chaos as the wait was so long that people were getting upset and angry. They have got to do better on this! read more

The fair was great. I haven't been there in years. Ashley went to a show. The show was great lots of rides. Lots of exhibits and lots of games. Had a great time. read more

Our first fair as "guests" rather than "paricipants". :) For 12 years before the pandemic, we had our 4H animals at fair and were there for 5 days 24/7. This is our first year to go just on Saturday for fun and the rodeo. First, the things Iiked: Parking is still $10 (though $5 would be better), the new layout in the barn is much better, great selection of food vendors. Lots of neat rides, more so for the small kids. What I did not like: PRICES. My goodness. I paid $140 just for entrance & rodeo for 5 people. Buying tickets ahead of time for a discount is a joke. The fees per ticket basically eat up any discount. Food & drink prices are much higher, and I don't have small kids for the rides. I expect to pay more at a fair, but these prices make t hard for a family to go to for more than one day. The rodeo this year was not great. The animals were, but the pizazz was definitely missing. The beginning ceremonies were lackluster, the time between riders just dragged on. The rodeo clown was creepy, and his sets were just way too long. People started leaving after the bucking horses because they thought the show was over. Not sure if this is a different circuit than previous years, but this show needs work. read more

This place was great for the kids ages 5-8years old where they can ride the larger rides. There was live music and shows around the fairground which kept us entertained. It was pretty hot this day we went so make sure to bring in some extra water. The cost was a little pricey for what we received. I recommend going to the Sacramento State fair it is much larger and has many more options for the little ones. read more

Just something to do during the summer. But it's waaay to hot to be lounging around during summer. Food is fun but pricy. Parking is pricy but you can get the discount at Costco. Fairly big county fair. Lots to do. Just be ready to spend a lot of money. I do like the food there as well. Cheesy load potatoes was the best and corn dogs. read more

Sacramento county fair............. Eh? It's almost like, what's the point?! I understand that towns like to have a local fair, of course, but you have a STATE Fair that's like months apart. Really, really close together. Let's start with fees $10 parking. $12 for adults We went ON Memorial Day so military wife got in free AND, they tell my mom there's no senior discount. Really? Really? That right there was reason to not go. This doesn't even have the flair and fun of the state fair. No fancy exhibits. Just.... One SMALL vendor shopping place. Nothing of interest. Yes, they had fair food. And rides for the kids. Monorail doesn't even run! Save your money, save your time, and save me an eye roll that I even went for a few hours. Visit the Sacramento STATE Fair, only. read more

I took my mom and my daughter to the Sacramento county fair on memorial weekend. This was the perfect time to go. The weather started off a little chilly but warmed up. I highly recommend buying the wrist bands for the rides before going. My only regret is not getting the wrist bands. If you arrive without it and chose to buy the amusement park card you get charged a fee to purchase and you end up spending more that way. You have to reload the card at a reload station. Get the wrist band. There were some rides that required a parent or guardian to ride. My daughter enjoyed the reptiles that were displayed inside. There was also an area for kids to play indoor with blocks, maze, and a stage for performers. We also tried the curly fries that come in a massive block. Enough to feed 3 people. Great experience. read more

Let's just say I'm looking forward to the State Fair... bigger food selections, rides & more spaciousness. Still a fun event with the weather permitting. Prices are high, but what Fair isn't, so don't come thinking it's an inexpensive event. It's all about the memories you make.. .Enjoyed the fair activities inside and the outdoor activities such as the Pig races & dog pool jumping. Entertaining but not really worth the price of admission for a large family. Suggest this as a date night!! read more

This 2019 County Fair was whack as hell! They really didnt have much this year it seemed half the size of the fair last year. The only koo thing about this years county fair was the Rodeo bull ridding, just like any fair its always expensive, i paid 10 dollars for parking, the wife and i were hungry so we had paid 26 bucks for one bacon wrapped hotdog and a hot link with some chili cheese fries. We were waiting for our fries and were asked if we wanted tots instead because the fryers had broke down and they weren't able to make more chili fries. I passed on the tots and just wanted my money back. Honestly i was just disappointed that the fair was so small this year. The rodeo was pretty koo i had never seen bull ridding in person and it wad pretty awesome, other than the rodeo was the highlight of the whole fair. I dont think i'll come back next year i'll just wait for the state fair instead. read more

Extremely expensive food available...Not worth it, I saw lots of health violations as well, the county obviousely not paying attention, had an $8.00 corndog, cold inside raw dough. $5.00 for a 12oz water, $19.00 for a terryaki bowl with 4 pieces of quarter sized chicken...Sad to see families in need not being able to enjoy.. read more

Don't spend the money on the Fast Pass. The ride moderators didn't even let those children/ppl go on first! What a rip off. And the prices were so expensive! One Blooming Onion was $15!!! There were no County exhibits! And the vendors were WAY down. I was very disappointed. read more

Honestly it did not occur to me that we had any local fair besides the giant State one. This wasn't half bad, and I can see the appeal. By far less crowds. Cheaper entrance fee ($5). Same batch of carnival rides for the kiddos. Large selection of animals in the livestock area. Goats, sheep, pigs, cows, rabbits and birds. It's definitely a tiny version of the State Fair tho. $10 parking, but a lot less parking lot trekking since it's such a smaller area of Cal Expo. No giant exhibit rooms, one mediocre shopping building and a lot less food. Bonus - virtually no lines anywhere. This seems like a much more family friendly mini fair. If it weren't for my niece showing her goat for FFA I personally wouldn't drag myself there for the cost. I am told there are Groupon deals though. read more

For Californians, what better way to celebrate Memorial Day than at the fair in our state's capital? Every year for Memorial Day weekend, the Sacramento County Fair takes over the parking lot at Raging Waters for some good ol' country fun. DETAILS: ------------------------ Parking: $10, entrance at Challenge Way and Exposition Blvd Admission: Free for children 12 and under, $5 for everyone else THINGS TO SEE: ------------------------ * Demolition derby, the other favorite American pastime * Hypnotist show (free) * Variety shows like knife and torch juggling (free) * Live country music, cuz that's what we listen to 'round here (free) * Art and horticulture exhibits made by students from local schools (free) THINGS TO DO: ------------------------ * Mechanical bull riding * Lots of carnival rides and games * Livestock auction * Tons of shopping and food from local vendors * Zip line, rock climbing, water balls * Test driving Dodge trucks and Hummers The carnival rides are a bit pricey. $5 for a Ferris Wheel ride?? I remember back when I could ride one of those for two bucks. I'm sure showing my age... But fun is fun. And this fair has no shortage of it. So if you're within driving distance of Sac, get your cowboy hat on and head down to the fair before it's gone for another year! read more

It's like the State Fair's sad step sibling... I didn't think I had any expectations, but I guess I did. For starters, parking is still $10 to park here, even though it isn't even half the size of the state fair. You have to enter at the entrance near the race track (but not by the miniature golfing spot, you've gone too far over there). It's only $5 to enter and and kids under 12 are free. What a steal, that seems so cheap these days, then you get inside and you realize why. Don't get me wrong, it's worth it for a couple hours of good ol cheap fun and people watching. Kinda like its cool older brother the State Fair, after you walk in to the right is all the food booths and some random little stalls selling randomness. Toward the left is the kid friendly ride area. Toward the back, just like at the State Fair, is all the animal exhibits. One of the regular tent buildings is open and cool inside, filled with random vendors selling even more random stuff. We let L ride a few rides and single tickets were $1.25 each, but if you pay with CC you had to spend over $10. They had unlimited wrist bands and ticket packages. Most rides were an average of 4 tickets. She enjoyed two rides and that seemed to adequately satisfy her for our day at the County Fair. They had a smaller version of a main stage, where you could sit under a shaded tarp on folding chairs, while also enjoying some entertainment -- which was really good actually, while your awesome BF waits in the long snow cone line for you and the troop! The snow cone/slush/shaved ice vendor is awesome! Wall got their shaved ice and we weren't just happy because it was almost 100 degrees. The flavor of their syrups and the texture of their shaved ice was good. Not Hawaii good, but really good for Sacramento! For a kids size it was $4 and for a small it was $5, both of which were perfect for sharing. Also, like most of these vendors, they charge $0.50 for using your CC. It seemed more so at this Fair, versus the State Fair, the 4H groups/kids are competing more with their animals. I could be completely wrong on this front, but it seemed that way when we walked through some of the hundreds of stalls of animals. They also have a petting zoo for $3 to enter and $1 for a cone filled with food to feed the animals. For any PETA loving people, sorry to report that they had to different set-ups to have pigs race each other and then ducks or some other animal/bird, I cannot remember at the moment. No race was happening when we were there, but we saw the area. If you plan it correctly, this could be a great time. Just don't go when it's sweltering hot, which is an obvious suggestion. Now I know why we don't go to the County Fair often... read more

I finally had a chance to visit the Sacramento County Fair. Living in Sacramento means we have access to the California State Fair, making the county fair much less of an event. The county fair is located at the California Exposition grounds just like its much larger cousin. Parking is expensive and can be limited. The fair typically runs over Memorial Day Weekend for just a limited engagement. Most of the fair is on about half of the normal state fair area. On a positive note, the county fair is much cheaper and has a lot of the same food and shopping options. The weather can also be better. Mostly, the fair is constantly compared to the state fair. Attending a lesser event in the same location of the full state fair somehow makes it even worse. The exhibits are far smaller with a limited midway and ride selection. They do a decent job with limited resources though. I recommend just waiting for the full state fair instead of the Sacramento County Fair. It is a decent entertainment and option for the true farm competitions, but it just seems to be a tease for the full California State Fair later in the year. read more

Pretty small county fair, parking is $10. I think it would be better if it's little cheaper for parking since the county fair have few rides, shows & foods. It would be nice if they add more exhibitions so it is worth it to go and enjoy more than just short hours except the main shows. read more

We took kids for a visit since we were visiting family for a graduation during the week and not very much else was opened. Parking was $$$ but let me tel you about the games! $10 each GAME! Horribly overpriced and one game in particular a basketball game. An older man was working who was rude as hell. Told me loud and rude, to "get over here if you want to talk to me," I ignored him and waited to talk to the younger man, also working the game. The older man then proceeded to yell at me, I couldn't hear exactly what he was saying because at this point I got frustrated and angry. Come over here if you want to talk to ME!!! (I didn't, MF!) I was so upset yet my kids still wanted to play the game. We spent $20 on some crap toys and then later found out they (one of the few games we played but I think it was the basketball personally) overcharged us for one play. Which typically isn't much but here, at $10 for a shit toy, is RIDIC!!!! Then I searched high and low for a turkey leg and found one near the entrance. Paid $18 (!!) and it was black and dry as hell. The worst one by far- not edible. I ate what I could stomach, the dry and tough meat completely black on the outside - and tossed the rest and still ended up with Diarrhea. I would stay the Hell away from this place. read more

Hi-ya! This rating applies to only this years county fair. I've been there in the past, but this year the event seemed so...terrible. The fair was poorly advertised and the entrance to get in was packed with Wells Fargo employees hustling you to open an account with them to get free tickets to go in. It's only 5 bucks for an adult...not that serious. The ticket booth accepts only cash which is fine, but if you didn't bring cash you're kinda stuck because the ATMs are inside the fair; not nearby the entrance. Their were tons of companies maybe more then usual hustling their products. The food spots really didn't have anything special like...the new deep fried--"you name it". The rides are what you would expect from the carnival variety; however a bright gleaming gem from this years fair was that they had an exotic animals area. Where they had an adolescent tiger and a baby tiger! I don't know how they're treated, but they looked happy and healthy and it was cool to see. Especially the baby tiger which is not common to see...especially at the county fair. Plenty of hand washing stations and they had soap in the dispensers so that was a plus! read more

Came here today spontaneously because my friend and I were driving by cal expo and saw signs! I came in with absolutely no expectations and I was happily surprised! Prices - make sure to bring CASH! a lot of the vendors were CASH ONLY. Parking was $10. Entrance was $6 and free entrance for children under 12. Then various other events like the tractor pull you can purchase tickets separately. Fair food is obviously overpriced so don't be surprised. I paid probably $8 bucks per food item, but the novelty and the experience of it makes it worth it! I didn't ride any rides so I cannot attest to the price of ride tickets. Food - I was really craving some fair food like fried Oreos and fried Twinkies and it did not disappoint! I got fried cheesecake and fried Nutella too! About $7-$8 bucks each. They also had elote on the cob or in a cup! Foot long corn dogs, tri tip sandwiches, cotton candy, ice cream, and even Thai food! There was plenty to choose from! They also had beer and wine for the adults who have small children! Needless to say, my belly was EXTREMELY satisfied. Atmosphere - there was a lot to do like rides, games, and shopping. The only reason im rating a 4/5 is because nothing, besides the food was really appealing to me. The vendors were a little disappointing, the rides looked cool but, again, I wasn't interested, and there seemed to be multiple of the same carnival games. There was entertainment that I did enjoy like dancing, a rock band, and a hypnotist...and JACK SPARERIBS! Overall it was a happy experience! I came for the food and did not leave disappointed ! read more

This is the first time I have made it to the Sacramento County Fair. First of all, I really like the fact that its not in the summertime so like the state fair here at Cal Expo I wasnt getting too much sun and I didnt have to deal with the heat factor. What I liked: Lots of parking available, admission price was cheap, not so crowded, various events onstage, variety of rides for kids, local schools arts and crafts display, variety of food at the fair. Disliked: Price for parking could be a little cheaper, no pre-screen security check (just walk in after giving ticket), wristband for rides was $25, petting zoo was not free, zipline or hamster ball in water was a separate price. The corndog eating contest was classic, nothing better than a local eating contest to bring out the finest people stuffing corndogs in the pie hole. The hypnotist show was Awesome!!! I couldn't stop laughing at the poor people hypnotized hugging unknown strangers and making animal noises...the greatest... My daughter and I had a great time, great weather, and some great fried oreos. Definitely will come back to next years county fair, bring back the hypnotist please!!! read more

This afternoon with my in-laws it was my first time going to the Sac County Fair and wow do they have a lot to offer and for only $6.00 admission? What a deal, can't beat that! The fair is going on until Memorial day, for those wanting to check it out and they have a free app you can download that lists food vendors as well as the schedule of events held each day! I tried the CA burrito at Noel's Mexican Food and it was honestly hands down the best one I have ever had, I couldn't help but say mm the whole time I was eating it and my daughter loved it as well! The fair had a lot of animals, a private breastfeeding area for moms, which I took advantage of, many vendors, art, shows, a life sized chess board, was fun watching people play, Checkers, battleship display, even a statue of Gumby, rides, games, etc. It brings back childhood memories for me! Excited to check it out hopefully next year! read more

This was our first visit to the Sacramento County Fair in years and our granddaughters first ever fair. We enjoyed ourselves especially with the well laid out Kids Expo, kids area with the tractor races, LIVE duck races (what fun!!), petting zoo, dog performance, delicious corn dogs and pretzels, and the midway-wow, $5.00 if you bought the package of 20 (or $1.30 x 4=$5.20 or 5=$6.50 ) for each ride seemed a bit steep but perhaps we haven't been to a fair in years and this is the going rate? Glad that kids under 12 were free which probably offsets the midway ride prices. I hope the planning committee offers veterans/seniors a discount next year too. Overall, well done Sacramento County Fair, we look forward to next year and will plan on visiting all the other areas we didn't get to! read more

Highlights for the Sacramento county fair: 1. Kids are free (under 12) 2. Only $5 for adults 3. Walk on the wild side has a young tiger, bobcat and lion 4. Cinnamon rolls $5.50 next to the Jest in time stage and livestock pavilion Con's: 1. Mostly all cash come on people it's 2015 (entrance fee cash only) 2. Parking is $10 (cash only) 3. ATM machine by food vendors was down grrrr read more

This place is very big and lots of things to do and see. The food was ok. Thought it is my second time going, I will probably just save it for an evening thing. Going during the day there are less people but it is scorching. It didn't put me in a good mood and I wanted to leave within the hour. Costco has a $30 deal to get 2 tickets, free parking, and $10 food voucher. They stopped selling them when the fair opened, however. read more

At the fair today let me tell you it was a big upgrade from the Dixon Mayfair because here A child can ride alone they have a wristband at 40 inches and get on majority of the rides and they didn't charge the parents for the rides the kids had to be accompanied with there's lots of options to eat here it was not as grand as the state fair but sufficed for the weekend we went on Sunday night because the temperatures were not that high we stayed till it shut down we got to go on many rides as well as see a lot of animals that were cute and friendly the staff was extremely helpful they went out of their way to accommodate us was only six dollars to get in and with the $18 Groupon unlimited wristband it was well worth the money and time to get out the house on memorial day weekend read more

The last time I went to the county fair was for my 8th birthday. I'm now mid thirties. I've gone to the state fair almost every year but wanted to try the county fair this year so my daughter can enjoy some animals. This fair is so much better than the state fair! You get the same types of vendor foods, games, rides, some fun shows and music acts, but the crowds are much less and it's about half the price. I felt like there were more animal experiences, hello camels and pig races. The smaller area of the fair made everything much closer in distance from one another. We spent about 2-3 hours there and we saw everything we wanted to see, ate everything we wanted to eat, and was able to leave without being completely pooped from the day. At only $6 per adult (12 and under free), that was money well spent. The only reason for the 4 instead of 5 stars is because parking is expensive at $10. read more

Terrible! Our last experience before this was positive, nice music venues, entertainment and lots of exhibitions. This year we paid a whopping $15 for parking, the heat was unbearable and after walking to our first building, it was locked. No programs were available to see what shows were going on. The exhibits where we once saw pretty flowers and vegetables had fake props for each county. The only animals in the pens were cows and a couple of rabbits. During our short stay, we paid $3 for water and only saw one group singing in the wine garden. We saw the same vintage toys we saw years ago, but the highlight of the whole show was the art exhibits, but not worth the price of admission. The only really air conditioned building had "silent disco," who wants to dance during a heat wave? We left shortly after because we could not find one thing left worth staying for. read more

I've been to many state fairs in the past but never went to the Sacramento County Fair. I was pretty impressed with what they had to offer! As the previous review mentioned, it is like the state fair but a mini version of it and less crowded! I loved it! I can actually walk around at my pace and not wait for the person in front of me to hurry their butts up and get out of my way. Their reptile exhibits were pretty cool even though it was small.. They had alligators, tarantula's, legless lizards and so much more! They even had a guy walk around with a huge boa around his neck. Tip: If you want funnel cake, be sure to look out for the Pennsylvania Dutch one.. We tried both booths and this one deemed to be the best. The Sacramento County Fair is definitely worth the $5 dollar entrance fee. Will be coming back next year ;) read more

Whew! If you don't feel like dealing with the clamor and congestion of the CA State Fair, then the Sac County Fair certainly fills the bill. What a relief: -No parking hassles; you won't have to park in timbuktu (but, it's still $7 to park) -No humongous crowds -Nice time of year, weather-wise -Same selection of fried, sugary "foodstuff" -Admission - It's frickin' FREE, FREE, FREE! This fair is a more relaxed, intimate version of the State Fair. You can still blow lots o' moolah on the same deep fried, BBQ, sugary food, rides, carnival games,and do-dadds from various vendors. But, I didn't spy the Krispy Kreame cholesterol-bomb chicken sandwich or the bionic Bloomin' onion monstrosity. And that's okay with me. If you're into the exhibits (don't expect the mungo variety of the State fair), there is a small air-conditioned building showcasing local talent. I also loved that there is a little science, puzzle, interactive station in the same area. It's small, but at least your little ones won't get bulldozed by a bunch of older kids. There is also a wool show and sale, if you are into spinning your own yarn. And Sacramento Bee Keeping is nearby! Connected to this building, you will also find the usual vendors. Don't get lost like we did. The entrance is not at the Main gate, rather the East gate (parking is also on this side), near the track. P.S. Bring lots of cash, as this is a small venue; I only found one ATM. But, that may be my problem; I'm no Vasco De Gama. read more

First time to attend here and it was hella fun! We bought the unlimited rides from groupon for $17. It was opening day! Admission fee is $5 for adult and free for 12 y/o and below. I have a 5 y/o daughter and she tried all the rides, many times each. This place is not only for the little ones, even adults will definitely have a great time here. They have a wide variety of food to choose from. We saw Anthony Anderson doing a taping for a show in food network. Overall, it was a nice experience and the whole family enjoyed the day! read more

I just love the county fair. It's just like the state fair, but on a much smaller scale. There's a carnival and midway, fried foods and local talent, crafts and baked goods, and best of all livestock. It's less crowded, there's better parking, and the weather is usually more pleasant than during the state fair. It is rather on the small side though. It would be tough to spend a whole day here. 1-2 hours is plenty of time to see it all, unless you are waiting for a specific hypnotist show or tap dance recital. It's no longer free (but still cheap) and the parking fee has increased, but that's to be expected over time. The other county fairs in the area are very similar (Placer, El Dorado, Butte, Yolo) but for some reason the Sacramento county fair is my favorite. read more

This is my first time at the Sac County Fair (Memorial Day Weekend). Honestly, it was pretty fun! It brought back childhood memories of my hometown fair. Highlights- 1. Not as crowded as the State Fair 2. 12 and under are free 3. $10 parking 4. $5 admission 5. I purchased a Groupon for $15 for 30 tickets or unlimited wristband (obviously get the wristband!!!) so it's something to look out for each year Things I thought were pretty cool to see- 1. Animals-and lots of them 2. Alaskan pig races 3. Corn dog eating competition 4. Hypnotist-was okay Things I didn't care for- 1. The lemonade stand (that looks like a lemon)-it was HORRIBLE!! It cost $5/large drink. Where's the lemon?? Besides the wedge floating in my cup. It was basically sugar water. I think I got more thirsty after drinking that. I should have just stuck with water. 2. Bumper cars-so why do my husband and I have to share one? There were 2 other empty bumper cars that were working perfectly fine and not in use. 3. The Italian licorice-$4/1 strand. We asked which are the most sour and told Apple and Lemon. We purchased 1 Apple licorice and told that the longer you chew it the better the flavor comes out. Unless you like chewing on wax, DON'T BUY IT. Word of advice- 1. Go early when the fair opens or go right about 6pm when the sun will set. It'll help with handling the heat. read more

We only go to the fair to eat and pig out on foods we never get year around. We went on a Tuesday night at 630 and it wasn't very busy or crowded. The BBQ is great but expensive. Water is 3 bucks a bottle. Funnel cake is yum yum and not overly greasy or fried. We walked through the expos after eating and it was packed with people trying to get out if the heat. There wasn't anything interesting, just nice to walk inside. We left at 9 and walked through the games and rides, there were a lot of teenagers around and it was more packed in those areas. Buy the deal at costco, it is cheaper for the parking, admission, and food stubs. read more

This year was my first year attending the Sacramento County year. I was so glad that i went to this fair because i had a good time! This fair is almost as good as the State Fair. It was less crowded and family orientated. They have many booths targeted to children. The exposition had great displays of different contests and was very entertaining to see. They had a good amount of shows also. THe best show was the hypnotist show which was very funny. I would totally come back here next year! read more

My hubby and I went with my brother and his fiancé and their nearly one year old son and had a blast. We didn't have to spend a fortune on rides and was able to save $10 for the parking by parking across the street and walking over. The crowd was not that bad, the entertainment was bearable and the animals were more loveable than I remembered. It was great fun and can't wait for the State Fair to arrive next year! K.J.

Small and over priced. There's a reason why entrance is only $6 because the rides and games will make you go broke.
