    We've been coming here for years...whenever the fair is happening or RV shows, car shows or other events happening, we always try to go at least three times a year. The past couple years, the parking prices have skyrocketed! Last time I was here, parking was ten dollars and this year parking is twenty one dollars. It was more than the entrance fee to the RV shows! We loved the RV show. There were so many vendors and beautiful big and small RV's as well as travel trailers and 5th wheels! It was a cool day so we were there all day. The restrooms were clean, there was someone always cleaning, that was nice to see. We might be back for the Fair in May! Overall had a great experience at the RV show hosted here!

    Kaboom!! Get ready for the 4th of July extravaganza! Most of us think of the Annual County Fair, but the Fairplex is home to many events and conferences throughout the year, they even have a Sheraton Hotel on the property. Online discounts are available now on their website for the entertainment and fireworks show. I have attended and highly recommend this fun-filled family event. This year the event falls on a Friday! Awesome to have a 3-day weekend (for most of us). Doors open at 4pm. Other events during the year are Classic Car Shows, Canned-food drives and drive-thru food giveaways, Octoberfest, Reptile Show, Antique Shows, Artist Studio events, concerts and the popular Monster Truck Shows. Hope to see you there, sincerely, Rosemary..

    I have been to the Fairplex for the fair, car shows, expositions etc... I have never been disappointed. The most recent visit was for the 2025 Christmas Mooneyes car show. This show was amazing, there were a ton of awesome cars, great vendors and some good food. In between looking at the cars and vendors I sat in the stands and watched some drag racing. Such a great event.

    I attended the popular Thriftcon event on Saturday March 15th. It was an awesome event that happens once a year and only on one day. The building was filled with vintage, retro and upcycled items that were displayed and sold to lovers of fashion. I would appear that T-Shirts was a main focus and they had plenty of options for everybody. It was a total vibe. The DJ played music from various genres, it was a bop! There were also vendors with vintage albums for sale, and they offered discounts, which is a nice touch since visitors purchased more than one item. I will definitely attend Thriftcon again!

    If you are interested in buying a pet bird, bird food, bird toys, or other pets like turtles, kittens and puppies, this could be an option. It's $15 admission at the door which is steep. I love birds and believe these intelligent creatures should not be behind a cage, so I just came here to admire them. Met a lot of nice bird owners and got to meet their birds. Got to congratulate some new bird owners too. There's definitely fair food outside for purchase as fair prices. If you are like me you may even end up sad seeing all the parrots bunched up in a small cage. Luckily some parrots were able to just hang out outside. We biked there and escaped having to pay $18 to park there.

    Expo Center fairplex - I Thrifting

    This review is for THRIFTAPALOOZA the Fairplex. Attended on a Sunday 10:20am. We pre purchased our tickets online which saves money from "at the door prices" but you still pay a convenience fee per ticket. Nonetheless, I wanted to see what it was all about. Entrance was easy, no lines, showed my apple wallet tickets and cruised in. Lil' perks: *Cute light up "I (heart) thrift sign" was cute photo moment. *indoors on a hot August day *about 3/4 of the expo tent was full of vendors and plenty of food options! Note: this is more like an antique event imo than thrift. Lots of vtg Pyrex glassware/vtg clothing/vinyls etc. The first rack of clothing (non-vintage) was overpriced. Nothing had a price tag. I asked about pricing and the man said you can "ask about each individual item but all tshirts are appx $20" (GULP!) Moved on from that vendor. Many others were $5/$10/$15 in bins. Some had totes with lids if you felt inclined to dig through the totes. My treasures: *1960's samsonite luggage set (3pc) $40 *2 gold mid-century modern starburst wall decor $2 *Halloween decor item $2 For $40 entrance fees for 3 ppl, $20 parking I wouldn't repeat this experience. It wasn't what I hoped nor expected. Also, I'd recommend if you venture over for yourself to come Saturday and be prepared to deal with crowds. When we left around noon it was more crowded and hard to see the vendors items due to qty of ppl. Just go prepared!

    I went to Fairplex for a toy drive event and it was wonderful with so many vendors and kind people giving toy for kids in need. I have never seen so many toys giving in one day. The community was so nice and the best kind.. The DJ was awesome the best 80's music hits and people enjoy dancing and eating at great vendors around I was there with Journey of Love & Hope giving free food to the community. Thank you Fairplex for giving back to the community.

    The fact is : this is the Pomona Fairplex. Where, just like, the Los Angeles county fair, the location provides a variety of entertainment for all ages. Some will enjoy rv shows, others will come for the drag racing, and others will visit the variety of shows that are hosted, such as the annual 5k 10k and 1/2 marathons. From side shows to street food, the Fairplex provides an ambiance that's fun for everyone and great for family moments. Huge place, best to just use the parking area it offers. Pricy, but what can one do. Prepare to walk and a lot. Score is 3.75 a bit older location, but serves its needs. A modernization would be in need.

    No Values Festival 2024! Bill's here!
    Tamara T.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Garey Motel - Room with One Queen bed

    A few months ago I needed a last minute room, and well since the Bartender that night was trying to…read moreretire off me, my funds were limited. So after I close out my tab, and decide that its gonna be a JC for my kids college and not a UC (thanks Bartender) I grab my phone and check a few motels in the area. What I was looking for was the most bang for my buck, cheap price but not to cheap of a motel. I didn't want to wake up with lice, or have to sleep with vermin, since they weren't chipping in on the bill. I see Garey Motel and book it for the night. Slept soundly, and woke up to no lice or no little friends crawling around. Like I said most bang for your buck. The story doesn't stop here though. A few weeks later I find myself in a similar situation needing a solid, safe, clean room that doesn't cost to much. Garey Motel pops up again, and I book it. This time something's different. Right when I walk in I notice the room has been remodeled. Now I don't pretend to be anything other than a special Ed teacher... I am not a designer by any means but I do know quality when I see it. These rooms have been remodeled for the better and the smell of cleanliness is picked up outside the door even before walking in your room. Remember now I look for the most bang for the buck, And I don't pay very much for the room so I figure okay next time the prices will probably go up because they remodeled their rooms. A couple more weeks go by and well here we are Christmas break and I need somewhere nice to stay for a few days while my house is being worked on, I choose Garey motel, and let me tell you why. The price still hasn't gone up since the room remodeling... like I say most bang for the buck. The rooms are awesome, and look modern. Now I will say this, if your gonna be one of those that are gonna compare this motel to the Venetian in Vegas, just get outa here, no local motel or nothing for that matter will ever please you in life anyways so move along. Be real here, have real expectations. Garey Motel offers a great fair price, modern rooms, cleanliness, and a safe place whether it's for a night or a few days and to top it off the owners are a husband and wife couple who stop whatever they are doing to help and assist you with your needs. This review was written after staying here several times within a few months span, meaning I've had time to critique this place. And well I'll say it again, I'm not a professional "motel goer." I'm just a teacher, someone who has a normal job like you, but I do know quality when I see it. Thanks guys for the awesome room, I'll be seeing you soon.

They were using the Sheraton Conference center side, which is attached to one of the Fairplex's "warehouse" buildings where Collector's Expo was taking place. There's a small hall walkway in, another hall area where there's seating, information about the event, outlets, seating, and super fancy and clean restrooms. The actual conference rooms were being used for TCG tournaments that were going on for the event. Liked that the restrooms were clean and looked nicer and I am sure were cleaned more regularly than the restrooms at the Fairplex. AC was blasting and super strong, great with the hotter January weekend and the amount of people at the event.

We travel with my parents (Marriott lifetime platinum members, not exactly first-time guests), and every single time we've stayed here, we've requested connecting rooms. And not just casually mentioned it--we've called ahead, emailed, and even received confirmation from the front desk that it was "taken care of." Fast forward to check-in... surprise! No notes. No record. No connecting rooms. Again... At this point, it's less of a mistake and more of a tradition. Honestly, if you're looking for consistency, this hotel does deliver--just not in the way you'd hope. We were told this would be a "great teaching moment" for the staff. I'd love to know what curriculum they're using, because 3-for-3 suggests nobody is passing the class. Then there's breakfast. With the hotel at full occupancy, you'd think staffing the restaurant appropriately would be part of the plan. Instead, we were quoted a 40-minute wait because they didn't have enough staff to handle the crowd. Nothing says "relaxing hotel stay" like scheduling your morning around whether you'll be able to eat. Safety-wise... shoutout to my 4-year-old for having better hazard awareness than maintenance. One of the balcony chairs had a large exposed screw sticking out of it. She caught it before it caught her arm open, which is probably not the kind of guest experience the hotel is going for. And the showers? Designed, apparently, for someone no taller than 5'6" with a deep appreciation for low water pressure. If you've ever wanted to feel like you're rinsing off under a mildly enthusiastic garden hose, you're in luck. What's frustrating is that this place was good. That's why we keep coming back. But each visit feels like a noticeable step backward. At this point, I'm not sure we have it in us to roll the dice a fourth time.
