We ordered a couple drinks, loved that some places had samples so we can try before we buy! My bf got a smashburger & I got the loaded carne asada fries my friend tried the asada elote! We all pretty much loved each of our options I will say their side sauces are what made it pop for me! The green sauce was so spicy I loved it & the other orange sauce was delicious too! Later on we got some Cathy cookies ugh which are some of our faves! So had to get a bucket haha then some curly fries which were ginormous haha but better be if we're paying OC/LA pricing ...so to be expected. So fun & cute to see all the dogs dressed up in their lemon fits (: Downside was parking was ridiculous. It was packed so very crowded so lines were a bit long here n there. Also if ya didn't find free parking (which was a long shot around the time we went) we had to pay $20 to park at the high school lol

I enjoyed the freshly squeezed lemonade and the grapefruit jelly I purchased. I enjoyed the company of my friend who checked out the festival with me. My friend commented that we normally don't hang out in downtown Upland, and there are some inviting looking restaurants, cafes, and shops to check out sometime. Cons: expensive parking ($20-30), WHERE ARE THE LEMONS???, too loud and crowded, pretty much a mini LA County Fair without any of the cool exhibits. The main issue is the misnomer: you hear lemon festival and you kind of expect lots of cuisine that is lemon-focused. Like at a garlic or lobster festival. Maybe it used to be, but not anymore. So as a first timer, rather disappointing. 2.5

One of the highlights was the small circus-style show featuring bikes and motorcycles, which was entertaining and added a unique touch. The acrobat portion was fairly short and ended up being my least favorite part of the event. The lighting and visual effects were absolutely amazing. There seemed to be a blend of Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz themes throughout the experience. While the visuals were beautiful, I think it would have been even better if they had fully committed to one theme rather than mixing elements together. My favorite part was exploring the many small rooms scattered throughout the venue. Each room was decorated differently, and it was a lot of fun discovering all the creative details and designs. I do hope that future versions stay more consistent with the chosen theme instead of sprinkling in random figurines that don't quite fit. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and I'd happily return next year to see what they create next.

I saw this place when I'd stopped by Ontario Mills and wanted to check into it. I looked it up…read moreonline and saw their operating hours and that tickets could be purchased via their website. They offer some great deals for local residents as well as on weeknights. We stopped by here the other night after my birthday dinner. It was a little chilly and windy, but there were so many cool things to see and do here. Talk about a plethora of options for photo ops and selfies! The Wizard of Oz theme is cool. There's a couple rooms that don't seem to follow the theme, which helps mix it up a bit. There's also a "circus" which looks like a lot of BMX and dirt bikes. We heard it and saw some of the performance, but it's a very small area of the attraction, so we were more interested in everything else. We ended up staying here almost two hours and they were getting ready to close. This is definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something fun and different to do in the area.

The staff was very nice and the performers were all so talented. The set up this year was a little different and there weren't as many vendors. Also, this year they didn't "allow" purses in (even though the website stated otherwise and there many people with purses and backpacks). Updated communication would've been helpful. Look for parking on the surrounding streets. DO NOT PARK IN THE BUSINESS LOT ACROSS THE STREET, THEY STARTED TOWING CARS! It also gets cold once the sun goes down so plan accordingly. Thank you so much for all the good energy. Looking forward to next year!

I think I would come back here with a group. Definitely a good date event.

There were plenty of free parking both on the street as well as behind the public library and the local post office. At the Farmer's market, you can find vendors selling fresh eggs, fruits, and flowers. There's also honey, juice and pastries that are super tasty. I was actually there primarily for the eggs and was able to get two dozens of XL Grade AA eggs for $23. Most vendors accept Apple Pay / Tab to pay using your cc or debit cards. I plan to come back here more often, and when I do, I will remind myself to bring my wagon.

There are so many things here, exotic teas, lots of veggies and fruits, even this awesome soapmaker who made Calamansi Soap! Wow! I purchased that too! Plus, Olive Oil with Basil, very fancy here, juice stands, salsa and chips fresh made. A bit of soft music, plenty of parking and got one quite fast. Beef jerky and chamoy candy. Pizza ready for baking when you home, too. I prefer shopping locally and lines not long and boring like grocery markets and major chains. Establishing relationships with market vendors is above all else important. Visiting again!!

As a a dad of two it's even more amazing seeing your children's face when they see all the decorated houses. My biggest recommendation is to come during a week day and avoid rush hours (6-8:30). The traffic does get pretty bad. If possible visit during the walking days, which are typically the first 4 days of December. We've walked and driven through the street with minimal foot/car traffic and it does make looking at the lights even more special. Benefits of walking is that you are able to take your time and admire everyone's work, benefit of driving is staying warm in your car all while playing some Christmas music. Thank you to all the residents for keeping the tradition alive!!!

I lived in Pomona in the past but somehow never had a chance to visit the LA County Fair. I decided…read moreto take my wife and the kids, and honestly, I was surprised in a good way! There's a lot more to do than I expected. They had classic car shows, guinea pig racing, art exhibits, tons of games, rides, food, and plenty of things to keep the whole family entertained. The fairgrounds are huge, and of course, expect a big crowd. Parking can be a little hectic, but they have trolleys that take you to the entrance and back to the parking area, which definitely helps. The food is definitely pricey, and some things are hit or miss. But honestly, that's part of the fair experience. You try different foods, sometimes you find something really good, and sometimes you wonder why you just paid that much for it. Overall, we had a great time as a family. There's something for everyone, and it's a fun way to spend the day with your loved ones. Definitely glad we finally checked it out!

As soon as I entered the fair, a photographer asked if I wanted a picture taken. I checked for pricing and the lowest package they had was $40. Needless to say I did not take the photo . I did run into some cute jewelry vendors, and a soap making vendor that is local,and supported their business. I also saw some interesting art and the artist was onsite to talk about it. Parking at the fair is always something. They do have a complimentary tram that will take you closer to your car. For a discount on tickets, I decided to go with Mattress Firm.The process to reserve discounted tickets was easy. Til next year.

The line for beer took an hour, by then the food trucks were out of food and bands stopped playing around 7 pm, which made the cold wind seem that much more chilling.

This is a great place for a group of friends or family to test your skills under pressure. There was definitely some laughs, screams, blood juice and pain. Thanks Mr.G for this awesome experience, you really put thoughts and time into this! I don't know what others are complaining about... Everyone was in character the moment you arrive. They are a little rough, but you do sign a waiver. You should know what you signed up for! Bring a towel for after the game, you will need to clean up some mess! One thing my group failed at was to be organized and pay attention to small details! I'll come back again and would love to try Pure Evil!

If I could give it one star I would. READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SCAMMED!!!!…read more My fiancé and I were planning on attending with 2 of our close friends for date night. My fiancé was visiting from Iowa and my friends and I live about 1.5hrs away. While driving I received a text 17 minutes before that the experience was canceled due to technical difficulties. Were we annoyed that we drove 1.5hrs for no reason and wasted valuable, precious time? Yes. However, I get it, things happen. In an email they sent me, they had asked if we'd like to reschedule or get a refund. I asked for a refund. I have emailed them on 4 different occasions. The day of, the 20th, 22nd, 25th, and the 27th asking for a refund and/or the next steps to get our money back. No response. The phone number on their website is disconnected so I couldn't get through to anyone. To spend $320 and not even get one single reply is ridiculous. I had to file a claim and take it up with the Better Business Bureau. Very tacky business. Will NOT be recommending this experience to anyone and I recommend you don't waste your time either. I should have known better than to expect much considering how many typos they had on their confirmation email.
