Fairplex Administration Offices

I wanted to share with you my recent experience at the LA County Fair, particularly the Mother's Day visit with my daughter. I must say, the fair exceeded my expectations in many ways. From the wide array of exhilarating rides to the diverse food vendors and charming bars, the fair had something for everyone. The cleanliness and family-friendly atmosphere were particularly impressive, making it stand out from the fairs I've visited in the past. One aspect that stood out to me was the apparent sense of safety at the fairgrounds. Despite the absence of a noticeable police or security presence, I felt secure and at ease throughout my visit, which speaks volumes about the overall security measures in place. However, I couldn't help but notice the high prices of food and beverages, which I found to be a downside to an otherwise enjoyable experience. The steep costs took away some of the charm for me, prompting me to reconsider my spending choices while there. In conclusion, I would rate my LA County Fair experience a solid 7 out of 10. If you're in search of a lively and family-oriented outing that offers a wide range of activities, the fair is definitely worth a visit. Just be prepared for the higher-than-average costs that come with the territory.

This is a place where one must visit to enjoy the great attractions,food,rides, exhibitions and animals. The park is a large area to walk around so be prepared to walk in good shoes. Overall nice fair to come and enjoy with the whole family and friends.

Well it's the LA fair. It got smaller and more expensive. There were a few people, it wasn't as crowded as past years and it was pretty expensive. I noticed people weren't buying them turkey legs cause they were $20. Drinks started at $15 for beer and $18 for mixed drinks. We took an ice chest with food and water so we didn't spend money inside except for a $9 corn in a cob. They didn't have as many art expositions as past years, it was mostly vendors.still it was enjoyable.

Had a good time at the Fair today. We learned about the Queen Bee & honey, fed goats & lambs & got some great jewelry from Lety, the sweet vendor of Creations by Lety at the blue umbrellas by the Lagoon Stage, go check out her booth. I ate a bacon wrapped pork belly & garlic fries from Biggy's, while my friend had a good slice of pizza next door. It was great weather to hang out, catch up, and shop.

This was a amazing event today was surprised how amazing having the fair only for families with disabilities early access to avoid all the people and letting my son enjoy this day even more only reason this wasn't a 5 star even tho am giving them a 5 star due to the fact that it wasn't the fairs fault that because of the bird flu we didn't get to see chicken and cows my son's favorite and also a lot less animals this year the food was amazing if you go the watermelon lemonade is 💯 and am a sucker for pins and tee shirts with Godzilla so they got me this is a must every year Please please please go to the art museum appreciate the beautiful art it's not just eating and rides the fair offers everything you want in one place a lot of the areas aren't explored enough everyone stays to the middle of the fair grounds go up the hill if you know you know

The LA county Fair Was a very gloomy yet beautiful day to be able to enjoy the attractions, games, rides. The crowd was not to big so we did not have to wait very long. Was a good experience

THE LA COUNTY FAIR IS THE BEST 🎢🚡!! I went with my family and we had so much fun, May 15 2025 was a warm and fun day at the fair. Love the rides and games! The barn is also really nice with many animals! The sky ride during the sunset 🌅 and night is amazing! Thank you for the experience! Living 5 min away from the fair is a true blessing, I liked the theme this year, “ART UNLEASHED!” 🎨🖌️ Had so much fun! 🤩

Drinks are super expensive, but we knew this! We enjoyed a great evening with my sister and friends! It was definitely a nice evening. I recommend you eat before you come and pre-game if you can. 😉 10/10 at night!

I came here with some friends for a Pet Expo. Super hot day. I was happy to get a parking spot pretty close to the entrance and happy to see they had some cart-trains that would ferry people closer to their cars if you parked far away. The venue was a good size in terms of number of vendors but the crowds were dispersed awkwardly. The reptile building was packed so full it was hard to move through the aisles without bumping into people. The aquarium building and bird building were sparsely visited. Not sure the solution for that except maybe... I dunno, move the birds/fish closer to the entrance and move the reptiles to the furthest building to try to disperse the crowds a little? It was really hot and the insides of the buildings were okay, but not exactly cool. Just, less hot. Lastly... as we were entering I saw that there was a nesting pair of Peregrine Falcons on one of the building features. High up, but amazing to see and hear. So cool!

I've been here for many events, mainly the L.A. County Fair, but recently for In-N-Out Fest and No Values Fest. This space is YUGE! If you're attending an event here, I would wear comfortable tennis shoes. I will say, I walked more in a day at Disneyland/California Adventure, but it's the heat that makes it feel like I walked double the miles. I attended In-N-Out fest last year and it was mostly outdoors. We were outside in October at around 11 a.m. and it got warm/hot fast. There was not too much to look at, but the heat was a real deterrent. They utilized the dragstrip and had cars racing down the line and had a huge indoor tent for some of the In-N-Out exhibits then they took up a large portion of the parking lot and hosted a huge car show. There was still a great portion of the property that was not utilized for this festival. Recently I attended No Values Fest and when I read it was going to be here I thought, "Great! We're all going to fry in the sun and on the concrete." When I got there the stage set-ups were on both concrete and grass which was nice AND they had seating in the bleachers available to concert goers. This made a world of difference and I had the best time at this festival because there was plenty of space and restrooms for everyone. I still did fry in the sun but it was short lived. Also, this place held a sea of people very well. The big event is the L.A. County Fair and I was going consistently for a while before the pandemic and enjoyed trying the food and seeing the hours of exhibits and entertainment this place had to offer. It's about a month long and I enjoyed getting the month long pass as I was able to see everything over the month as opposed to just one day. If you see an event is being held here, just know it's a lot of walking and the weather might be really cold or really hot or both, so dress accordingly. All in all, it's always an exhaustingly fun time at the Fairplex.

May 2024 Update: Here Are More Photos From My Visit To The 2024 Fair In May 2024, And I Enjoyed My Post-COVID-19 Trips To The Fair

LA County Fair: Stars, Stripes & Fun. One of the biggest fairs around with lots of exhibits, plenty of rides for all ages and an overwhelming array of food and snack choices.

Even though I live about 15 minutes away, I don't usually come out here much. I remember coming here for the LA County Fair many years ago, but not recently. Lately however, I've been coming here for the Holiday Half Marathon in December. This year, the start and finish line of the race was out on the In-n-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip. It was a nice venue as it was spacious and puts you in the mood to run a race! However, I wasn't too keen on paying the $17 for parking as I was only there for a few hours.

Honestly the only thing is the parking was 40$ dollars and the free one was about 6 blocks from entrance.

2023 California Overland Adventure and Power Sports Show Great event Vendors both inside the Hall and outside as well. Great way to start out the upcoming Spring Season! Tickets were inexpensive pre purchased online. You can also purchase at the event. Sadly, like most events, parking was more expensive than a ticket. Enjoy a day this weekend with Family and Friends Thank You for reading

Just recently attended In-n-out burger 75th anniversary festival over the weekend! The process to enter for parking was super fast and easy thanks to the event staffs. Our ticket was included with the carnival rides and games.The staffs for the game vendors were friendly and welcoming. I will definitely come back next time.

Came here for a cookware factory sale. Parking was $15 per car. Instructions were pretty clear in terms of where to park, and where to go after parking our car. Parking spots were spacious, and there were plenty of parking. Staff and security guards were friendly. The hall where this factory sale took place had strong air conditioning, which is perfect on a hot day.

I have been in the same 20 feet for about an hour in the parking lot. I left the event early. It is unreal how inept the parking is. I would rather die than come here again.

Fuck the Fairplex in LA. Took us 4 hours to get parking at a venue that was supposed to be prepared for 10k ppl. Completely unorganized. We left the hotel 1 hour before the venue was supposed to open, and we ended up missing half the bands because of the parking situation. Ridiculous!

Always have a lot of fun and always gain weight yherr, lol! But no regrets at all! Till the next year!

This is my first time coming to the L.A. Fair at the Pomona for years. This time my wife and I and our friends came with us to the L.A. Fairground. This year the L.A.Fair is celebrating 100th years of country fair. They change the Fair to May from September due it gets really hot in September. They are so many vendors and including food vendors.

First time here, it was for the reptile expo which I love togo to yearly but it's held at different places! A lot of parking easy instructions on how to get to the venue and over all great experience

2023 County fair seemed like there was all about food Vendors they had a Good animal expo this year but too many goats they need to show more different animals as well we want to see horses and camels and different type of bulls and cattle too the animal shows were the highlight of the visit. They also should have more classic cars for the show some parents go take the kids and we want to see some things adults like too

It is an event venue and hotel that serves as a place to strengthen the community and economy through arts and entertainment, agriculture, education and commerce. I've been to Fairplex quite a few times for events, like the annual events L.A. County Fair and special holiday shows The Elf on the Shelf. It's conveniently located right off the freeway, and the huge venue has multiple entrances and gates for different sections.

So glad the fair is back! Amazing Mother's Day with the beach Boy's. The fair food never disappoints! Fried everything, all day every day! Plus ... king taco is always the highlight of my day. Shortest king taco line vs any local locations. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Weather on point. Great family time and my first character picture of my and my love. I'll be back and am for sure attending the OC fair. Good times Pomona.

Ok....a 4.5 stars venue. The actual building where the Animanga 2019 Event takes place is far makes the only reason I took off 1/2 star. I'm gonna strive finding free parking on the streets tomorrow and take advantage of the tram. Hopefully, fingers crossed. Anyways, had to ask my dad to drop me off today first exploring the venue to pick up my pass. Since I had a very busy Friday last night due to Family Dinner so was unable to pick up my 3-Day pass till today that I won from the SGV Tix GiveAway. Although the actual venue is far from parking, I was able to locate all the answers from every parking attendant that we came across. Thus, it was a very convenient way of finding visitor parking as we were literally in and outta the parking lot in less than a half hour today. Can't wait to return here manana for the actual event since I've already explored it 1x. Nicely done.

I always enjoy the Fairplex when attending shows and expos here. Over the years I've attended everything from Tattoo, to MMA, and even Reptile shows here at the Pomona Fairplex. Depending on the gate and show, there are many locations and lots here to find, some closer to the freeway than others. Most recently, I attended the Reptile Expo here. $17 parking, fairly close to the event, and even shuttles that pick up from the deeper depths of the parking lot. The beers are cold, the Hot Dogs on sticks are warm, and the vendors always love this ideal location nestled between Orange County and LA. If you're into architecture, you'll enjoy the brutalist design elements, I snapped a pic that feels like it's out of Moscow or something, pretty epic. The parking attendants and guards are all really chill here and makes way for a great experience. It also seemed that the vendor parking was fairly close to the hall as well, making it easy for vendors to pack in/out. Great spot.

Came here for the Dinosaur event, you drive through to see the Dinosaur show, well I been now to 4 different drive thru events, and this 1 is far the worst one ever, I expected the Dinosaurs to have more movement, more louder sound affects, the show wasn't good, and I will never come to this again. Wasn't exciting to my 9yr old grand daughter or my older children. I gave 3 stars for trying to make its nice.

The fairplex is home to an abundance of events, trade shows, fairs, ect. When it is not fair season the halls are utilized for a variety of events. Each event has its own entry fee. Come hungry, bring your walking shoes and stuff your wallet full of cash. See, there is no easy way to get here. You have to walk. My feet are yelling at me right now for wearing 2 inch boots. Parking sucks. Like I said, you have to walk. Even as a vendor, your walking through the main gates. And everyone pays to park. At least $10-$15 depending on the event. Food, ahhh the food. Zero shortage. Expect to pay a pretty penny for some of it. $16.00 Philly's, $14 burgers. See what I mean? They also have teriyaki bowl stands which align with typical food prices. Hot dog on a stick. Ice cream stands and tons of beer. Most of these vendors stay here year round. Most of the events Ive been too, have a variety of vendors with nothing to do with the host. Like clothing, beef jerky, sun glasses, jewerly, ect. , Nice clean bathrooms are located in each hall. If you don't mind spending on food and parking then this is for you. Just remember to wear good supportive shoes.

We came on 1/6/18 for the reptile expo. My boys had been looking forward to it since last October. Getting to the Fairplex from Ventura county was easy. We arrived early enough to avoid parking nightmares. Be sure to have cash- parking was only cash but $12 seem a decent charge. Lines for entering the Fairplex were pretty long (and about 6 of them) but they all moved rather quickly. Once parked, we knew exactly were to go, however we stood in line for about 10-15 mins only to find out as we got closer to the front of the line that the line we were standing was for cash entry only. Dang :( signs should be bigger and easily visible to avoid confusion. We decided to save our cash for the booths, so we transferred to the cc line and started at the back. Once in, expect madness. The good kind. All kinds of freebies and reptiles everywhere. Fun was had by all. Definitely bringing the kids back next year.

I've been coming here to compete in dog Agility for years. Despite the fact that the surface is nice and the location is pretty, there are so many negatives about the way they run this place. The main issue is their employees. Recently they changed their parking location and didn't even instruct their employees to direct you to the right spot. The second major issue is how much money they charge for parking. It used to be $10 a day, then I went to $12 a day but you could still get a pass if you're competing a few days in a row. Finally, they realized that they can make even more ridiculous money on us, so there's no more pass offered, you just pay $12 a day. Of course if you want to leave the premises, you'd have to pay for the parking again. I would be coming here if not for the surface that my dog likes (I am an Agility nerd after all). So there are probably more confusing/expensive days in my future until I figure out a better place to compete.

We always attempt to come every year. It's always good quality to me to spend with friends and family. I always enjoy the variety of photo ops. There is always so my check to do, see, and experience!

Too crowded and not enough time to do anything wish it was a little less crowded I guess with better parking

We took our kids there when they were small. We were lured in by an offer to get in for only $1. Of course, we went and the whole world was there. This was not surprising. What was surprising was the fact that we spent about 2-3 hours trying to find a parking place. Then, after circling around for hours, they notified everyone that the place was at attendance capacity and they would not allow any more people in! Wow. So we tried to exit and it took another 2+ hours to exit the parking. They could have stopped people from coming into the parking earlier in anticipation of hitting the maximum attendance, but no. They made all these people, including us, waste their time and gas for nothing. I used to go all the time to the LA Fairplex in Pomona, but will never go again...

February 2022. Came here to the Fairplex in my RV and paid more than $100 per night to stay on the fairgrounds for the NHRA Drag races. Stayed near the NHRA museum. Been going here for 8 years now except 2021. Always been a great experience. But now you're not even allowed to ride a bicycle in the Fairplex let alone anything else. There's these people from Allied Universal security who have nothing to do but zoom around on these carts and hassle anyone on a bike or God help them, on anything else. I talked to one of them and the person pointed out some of the cameras that are all over. Seems they're all afraid of someone named Doreen and apparently there is someone who has nothing to do but watch screens to see if someone is riding a bike or anything else. It felt like a prison camp the whole time with these Allied Universal carts and vehicles zooming around, and rather fast at that, looking for people that the person who is watching the screens radios them to catch. It wasn't this way before. Crazy. Never coming back. Ever.

The Los Angeles County Fairplex fair and event grounds,located in the foothills community of Pomona,California,features great events in music,entertainment,crafts,RV,county fairs and auto related events like The Grand National Roadster Show.The Grand National Roadster Show,held at the Los Angeles County Fairplex, is the longest running indoor car show in the world!

I've attended several conventions at Fairplex which have all been fantastic. Anime Impulse, Animanga, and the LA Fair have always been fun experiences. The grounds are well kept and easy to get to and from. They have trams that run from the parking area to the buildings. Plenty of bathrooms. I'll definitely be attending events here into the future.

Went here for Covid testing, drive up only which is nice. Despite there being a ton of cars, they did a great job maneuvering everybody and I felt like it went pretty smoothly. Only complaint was it took an hour and a half wait to get tested.

This is strictly for the Fairplex management, employees, and organization and is in no way a reflection of the vendors exhibiting there. I arrived ready to enjoy a day at the yearly Cat Show, which was glorious, by the way. Driving into the parking lot, there are no signs anyplace indicating where you should park. People are driving in circles, pedestrians walking dangerously on the wrong side of the street... No one directing traffic anywhere from the street. I knew exactly where to go-to the website said "Gate 1, Bldg. 7". When I arrived at this location, the parking toll guard tells me, No, I have to go back up to Gate 17. I comply and find no less than 7-8 lanes of cars trying to get into the Fairplex. I wait, and wait. I see all 8 lanes, after they are robbed, er I mean, pay 10.00 to park, being funnelled into ONE lane. It's moving monstrously slowly. There is NO REASON for this; the parking lot is enormous there are ACRES of spaces. ACRES. We finally get to the first guy directing all the traffic. What they have done is reduce all traffic to one lane, and then cause even more backlogs by directing exiting traffic to the same area. (Why??) Now the power-tripping traffic guy is yelling at people, waving arms furiously, and generally causing more chaos. He thinks he's a NYC traffic cop in Times Square... People are stopping to ask questions and he's yelling at them to Keep Moving. All he needed was a whistle. After this clustertruck, we encounter yet ANOTHER screaming employee, rudely waving, gesturing and yelling, directing to the furthest point visible to the naked eye...It's my turn and Um yeah, No. The building I'm supposed to be in is now further away than ever after all this misdirection. I am not going to the furthest edge of the lot. So I drive through the lot to try and get closer, and I do. The guy who parks next to me was just as exasperated when we emerge from our vehicles simultaneously. He was headed to the RV Show and it made no sense to him either why we were parking so damn far away. As I am walking, and walking, there are fences and gates blocking me from getting across quicker, now I see cars driving past me, to the spaces closer, and I hear yet another employee asking drivers what show they are there for and directing these cars to where I should have been! Where was he when I arrived? Why didn't the two nincompoops I first encountered ask me where I was headed instead of commanding me to Siberia?! Absolutely NO directional signs. Now I am almost to the area of Bldg.7, I am seeing mirages at this point (incidentally, I am nearly to the place where I originally turned in according to the directions on the website) I finally get close enough to see the tops of the building Im supposed to be in, but the entrances are blocked. I see another employee in a golf cart and ask: "How do I get to the Cat Show in bldg. 7?" He directs me to a break in the fencing and says that's " the only way in." I have to walk All Around the Octoberfest building, empty shells of the Fair, walking walking walking over more scorching asphalt until I see building 4. But its Blocked by a big blue and white striped fenced tarped barrier. There is NO way to get in seemingly. I ask yet another becarted employee... He tells me go behind the "Beer building" yes, this is what he called it... More time wasted, still no way in. Now I'm on, what, the fifth person? I ask someone I see vacuuming, and she says I have to walk all the way back whence I came, because there is 'no other way'.... By this time I'm furious, hot, and exhausted. (I must really love cats) And here's where I come across Broomhilda. Lifelong Fairplex employee, decked out in vest / uniform / powertrip, and I ask her, is there a shuttle that will take me back to my car, because I saw shuttle stop signs on my epic journey from the Hinterland. She says "No. Those are only for the RV show". I smile, "How will they know?" Ms. Helpful: " It's only for the RV people." Me: "But why? I paid to park too." I ask why nobody knew where to direct me and she tells me: "Oh well, not my problem." Nice. I tell her have a nice day and she says: "Oh I Wiiiiiiill!!!" In a creepy sing-songy (wicked witch) voice. Excuse. Me. Rude rude rude. Rude. So, upon leaving, trekking back to my car, I over hear a Fairplex employee telling a driver: " Oh you're going to the Cat Show? You can park here (pointing about a mile closer than I ended up) and you Can Take the Shuttle Back to your car if you need to...." WTF? What is Wrong with this place? Why are they so unorganized? Why is every employee not informed of what is where in the grounds? So they can direct venue-goers. Aren't these employees aware of the concept of Customer Service?? I suppose not. When people pay 10 bucks to park and 4.00 for a bottled water, I guess it's our own fault. Not going to be going to Pomona Fairplex for awhile, cats or no cats.

What a great place to host your event! Tons of things to do and events to go to here! Weather in to a cool classic car show and swap meet, the NHRA drag strip... Or a fun home and garden show... There's always something fun to do with this place!

Our family had so much fun today at Jurassic Quest thanks to Yelp for gifting us the tickets. We saw dinosaurs and my kids went to all the dinosaurs jumpers laughing from ear to ear. There are photo booth, souvenir area, fossils digging, jumpers and tons of giant moving dinosaurs statues. Lots of photo ops with the dinosaurs. There are also food vendors inside the building and outside, we got Pinks hot dogs and ice cream. Parking was $12, we got there pretty late so a lot of vendors were closed and the place was a little empty.

Came here for the reptile expo on 1/7 and it was aweeeeeeeesome. We saw over 100,000 reptile species and pet a lot of beautiful creatures. We almost bought a gecko but the booth we were looking at only took cash :( ( NEXT TIME) We had a great time. Tickets were $14 for adults and $9 for kids under 12 years old. Parking was $12

People directing parking are really bad at their jobs. They have no idea what's going on. Not helpful at all. One big fat star off for that. Also, the place is freakin' huge, but maps are super hard to get. How lame is that? SUPER lame is how lame it is!! We had one map between us. When we lost it, we were lost too. Couldn't find another dang map. They charge plenty to get in, c'mon Fairplex, pony up for some dang maps. What's with you guys? On top of that, finding a schedule of activities is even harder to find. What the deuce you guys? You've been doin' this thing since 1922 and you can't get the map and schedule thing together? Maybe you like people to wander around so they'll buy all that way over priced food while they are trying to find their way around and pay $5-$10 bucks to hop on a ride. Rand McNally called, he said to take two Texas-sized stars off for your lack of maps and schedules. There's not even a daily schedule to view on their website. They have one of best looking useless websites I've ever seen. Seriously, these guys just don't get it. This place is a one and done. It's so hot there too. It's no bueno. Take one look at the animals there. They are hatin' life it's so hot. They do have a few misting sprayers here and there, but not very many. Lamo Fairplexo! Not cool!! There's some good stuff, like the exhibits, but it's way more of a hassle than it's worth. I will never go back. We all left hot and tired, but not in a good way like when you had such a good time. It was, more of a "man, I'm sure glad I'm out of there," kinda' tired. If you must go, take lots of dough, you'll need it. Also, try to pick a cool or cloudy day. There are tons of school kids there in the morning, so if you don't like the sound of 30 busloads of screaming school kids, then don't show up until the late afternoon or evening.

I recently attended the Bite Size Fair at the Pomona Fairplex. It was exactly what I expect a tiny version of the LA County Fair so the vibe was fun and the general experience was great. During COVID we are selective as to which events we attended. The fair advertised that mask were required vaccinated or not which was fine with us, what wasn't fine was that the retail vendors did not adhere to the policy, only a couple had on masks. It was disrespectful and unacceptable. The attendees were great at adhering to the requirements but not the vendors. I was very disappointed and did not purchase one item due to the fact that I did not want to go up to unmasked vendors. Very disappointed as it was small enough they could have been told and been required to put them on. Do better !

~This review is for "Asian American Expo"~ Admission: Adult $10, Children $7, Senior $7 Parking: $10 Entertainment: One stage with live band Merchandise: Hall #4 to #8 selling different kinds of merchandise from Asia. Food: Over 20+ food vendors. Majority of them accept cash only. Waiting in long lines for some of the popular food vendors. The price is a little bit more expensive than eating in the restaurant & portion is a little bit smaller too. Not enough sitting area, many people have to sit on the stairs or floor to eat.

Came here for the Lucas Oil Off-Road Expo this was an outdoor event and three indoor buildings. Parking was 10 and entrance fee was 20 without discounts. There were people directing parking traffic. They had trams you can catch to take you to the ticket booth and entrance. If you been to the LA County Fair then you're familiar with the layout of outdoor vendors and eating spots and the buildings that have vendors and food as well. Overall nice Fairplex but on summer or early fall days it's a sauna even inside the buildings so keep cool and hydrated and rest in shaded areas.

I came here recently to attend the Tom's Warehouse Sale. The staff on the grounds were very helpful right from the beginning. I drove onto the fairgrounds and there were ample signs directing me to the warehouse. They charge 10$ for parking and the staff who helped me was very nice and again very helpful. As for the Tom's Warehouse Sale, the lines were orderly and efficient for a Thursday evening. I left the warehouse at 8pm. The fairgrounds offered plenty of lighting and security for me to feel safe walking back to my car alone.

I wish there were more trees... I've been here for so many things it's hard to count. From the fair, to HARD summer 2016 o the weekly food truck festival in the summer time. I'm burning up, getting darker by the second haha

There sure is a lot of different stuff going on at the Fairplex. It sort of patchwork, racing, train museums, art museum, restaurants and convention spaces. They also do haunted attractions in October. Overall, the facilities are kind of run down and seem to have been built up piecemeal. There is no consistent architectural theme. But there is lots of parking! No recommendation.

I was just here for the tropicalia festival to see prayers, enanitos verdes, caifanes and hombres g. The event had plenty of vendors(including a Johnnie Walker stand) and friendly security. There were four stages, all with quality sound (i could hear caifanes perfectly from the stands when my old ass got tired). I would definitely come back for another concert, my girl said she came to warped tour before and had a blast. I'll make sure to be back have some drinks and dance the night away again. ... oh and a sidenote gate 17 for rideshare is the quickest way in and out.. took just a couple of minutes to get to and from our room.

Oktoberfest 2016 here was a blast, we came last night and saw the KISS tribute band and let me tell you everyone rocked out here haha. Yes the beers are overpriced but that's why you get the Groupon that comes with admission plus a 32oz stein filled with beer! Use your noggin folks and save a few bucks! Coming here we parked and got put into a tram. The grounds were large with plenty of vendors, restrooms and a stage. I feel like it was way better than Alpine Village in Torrance because Alpine lacks all of these vendors and has the worst cramped restrooms. It's just one large building there compared to this one where you can actually sit at outside benches, the stage seating or inside. My friends and I had a lot of fun here and enjoyed the music, dancing, jumping and goofy pictures! Overall, we paid $60 for two including steins. Another $15 for parking and some more money on drinks but honestly if you aren't a huge drinker the giant stein was enough to enjoy the mighty and save you money.

The Fairplex is a pretty big area for showing off what ever event they have going on over there. I went there for the retro city festival and always had room for parking and ease of access for entering and exiting the place. They had food and drinks available for purchase Incase you get hungry at what ever event you're attending.

Came here for a company event in a picnic area that I was completely unaware of. I was actually pleasantly surprised. The facility was sort of isolated, so it didn't feel like we were thrown together with other events going on at the same time. The restrooms were better than I thought they were going to be, and the parking is spacious. Would I come here again? Absolutely.

Guest services man name Richard Kling old white man was very rude. My daughter had sensory issues and can't have things touching her for to long and outing on the wrist band isn't going to work and instead of them being empathetic to the situation he said well to bad that's what it is nothing I can do try putting it on her ankle? Horrible response to me and he shouldn't be working here. $50 bucks down the drain for rides because she can't wear a wrist band they can simply scan it but don't want to unless it's on her smh.....

Great location parking was $12 a bit high for a sports event during the month of March! Used one of the large building! Surrounding area was clean, and parking crew were helpful and kind

My family and I visited the OC Fairplex in Costa Mesa for the Jurassic Quest experience. Overall we had a good time, my little one is obsessed with dinosaurs and loved it. Pros; you move at your pace You tube audio tour was great Dinosaur are pretty cool Cons Unfortunately the biggest negative I have is the Photo op picture at the end. We were very excited to see our photo to print and frame in my little ones room. But unfortunately the employee who took it COMPLETE FAILED TO SEE THAT THE DINOSAURS WERE NOT VISIBLE IN THE PICTURE so basically I have a picture of my family and I sitting in our car in a parking lot... No Dinosaurios visible what a Shane I an extremely disappointed. Ticket price was high $50+ for a short experience and you can't go through again. My little one wanted us to go again but there is no re-entry. Souvenirs are expensive

The only time I'll come to the Pomona Fairplex is for the Asian-American Expo; otherwise, a total rip-off. First of all, $15 for parking??? Seriously??? Didn't it used to cost $10 a few months back? Ok, I know that people are dying for more money and all, but this is just bogus. What can I do with $15? Go to Best Buy and get 2 DVD's on sale. But that's not the thing that made me pissed off on today's visit. From what I had found out, the Fairplex gives us a general admission of $1-$2 to get in for the LA County Fair, but as I headed up to the ticket booth to get my admissions ticket, the lady at the counter told me $15 each. Umm...EXCUSE ME??? Can you repeat that? $15 each. I told her that I thought that the LA Fair would have a general admissions "fare" (pun intended) of $1-$2 on the first day of the visit. The lady said that the $1-$2 admission discontinued 2-3 years back. Yeah, could've let us know then instead of now. I mean, really? Oh...Em...GEE. Wow. Just wow. So, that's another $15. And the prices for the concessions (fair food)? OVERPRICED. Sure, it's fair food, but what do you expect for a hot link Po'Boy sandwich for $12.00 (And that doesn't include a drink)???? Yeah, I should've had breakfast at Village Grille before I came here. But at least some of the foods filled me up for "lunch" today. But yeah, that's the LAST time I will be heading to the Fairplex for the Fair. The food was okay, but didn't have to jack up the prices THAT high. I mean, come on. The last time I spent that much money on myself (or somewhat close to it) was at PowerMorphicon in Pasadena a couple of weeks ago. At least the money I spent THERE actually made me find things that are worth spending on!!
