Staff working here are very nice and informative, directing you where to go. We didn't buy snacks, drinks or merch so I'm not sure how those operations function. Boy George puts on a great show. He didn't have multiple outfits like when we saw him at Hollywood Bowl, but it was very entertaining. Our seats were so good that we didn't have to stand the whole time and could still see. Which was quite nice since I'm old now and like to sit. :) We haven't seen a show here since pre-covid so I forgot what a nice place it is. Next year we'll be sure to get show tickets during the fair.

It's my 2nd time being here for a concert. The first time, it was part of an OC Fair day, while…read morethis time it was as a stand alone venue. Both times I really liked the venue. Parking was easy breezy and reasonably priced. After a pit stop and goodbyes to our friends, exiting was equally smooth as most of the crowd had already left. This venue has an intimate vibe with seating being greater than The Greek Theater but much chummier than Hollywood Bowl, when comparing outdoor venues. Its seats were a bit snug, but does that matter if you're up on your feet dancing? What's a little hip bump amongst friends? Sound was great! Full and balanced, it didn't get washed out as it filled the outdoor space. There are some food and beverage vendors, but likely because it's attached to the fair with its gajillion food options, not a wide selection. But, certainly enough to energize you through a concert. Wrist bands are given once your ID has been checked. Interestingly, medics were routinely seen patrolling the walkways while the concert was going. Most of the crowd was...ahem...of an age, so, yeah, I guess this made sense. Even though always available at any venue. I'd just never seen it so readily apparent before. When the concert was over, there was a noticeable police presence inside the venue at exit points, congregation points, and at the gates. This was not a rowdy crowd, so taken altogether, all I can guess is that they take safety and security of their patrons very seriously and in doing so, guard their reputation as a safe and desirable venue. I appreciated the cleanliness of the place. The aisle ways, the walkways, and the restrooms were debris-free and clean. As I mentioned above, we made a pit stop before we hit the road. As anyone who's seen a women's room line knows, it might take a minute. Even with the quick turnover (there are plenty of stalls) a female employee came in with a PE locker room voice loudly saying for us to "hurry it up! Let's go!" A little comedic to us actually, but found impatient by some guests, who shouted back "I'm trying to!" and "Give me a minute!" Pacific Amphitheater, I like you. I'll definitely be back.

We enjoyed the Japanese heritage section before the game and received Jerseys as well as an Angels and Ducks blanket. There were Japanese food trucks in the area as well as other giveaways and exhibits. Seats were in the Japanese heritage area, section 101, so in left field just past the foul pole. Good Seats with a pretty good view of the field. Lots of food options, prices are stadium level, but not horribly high. We will return.

One bottled soda was $8... eight freaking dollars!!! Are we really that greedy? With the new management, I feel like things are going to get worse in terms of prices. The major pros of this stadium are that we feel safe, and getting out of the parking lot is fairly easy compared to other stadiums (Dodgers, lol). Other than that, just bring your own food. Also, the night we went home, the Angels sent us an email survey, and believe me, I left some criticism, especially about the food prices.

I seem to end up here maybe once or twice a year for a show, when I can't see it closer to home…read more I'm usually at the location in North Park. ADA seating is entered by the ramp on the left side. It's metal barstools, so not the most comfortable. But you're close to the bar, so that's a plus. And there's not really a bad vantage point in the place, unless you're behind someone really tall I guess. ADA parking is right up front. But it may take a while before you're able to leave, because of all of the people streaming behind you. So I guess you leave early, or wait it out. A police officer was nice enough to help me leave, once it was safe enough.

For the past two years, Jen and I have come to the OC Fair together and I think we have found out…read morehow to make this a great experience. We came on the last Saturday of the season and was told it was the best weather they had all summer. For transportation, we took the OC Fair Express from Laguna Hills, which cost us each 75 cents each going there and again coming back. No hassle to pay or fight for parking or deal with traffic. We came early before noon and took advantage of all the $5 tastes. I checked my credit card the following day and we tried about 10. We also buy the refillable soda cup. It's still a bit pricey, but a little savings softens the blow. We loved the interactive displays in the VHS exhibit. Jen did her best Austin Powers and then we recreated Jack and Rose on the bow of the Titanic. We also checked out the art contests and noticed a friend from high school won a blue ribbon in photography. We love watching the Pig Races. Even though it's the same show each year, it's a nice break from walking and eating. Last year I won her a stuffed animal and while I would have loved to win a giant sloth this year, the games were just too tough. I did buy her a stuffed pig toy outside of the pig races for a consolation prize. We tried one ride last year, but passed this year. Instead, we stopped by Planet Popcorn and bought a sample box to take home with us. For 2 of us it was around $150 and that included everything from tickets, transportation, food and souveniers. For us, this is now an annual event that has become a fun adventure.

OC Fairgrounds hosts a ton of events, but our favorite is the annual OC Fair! Yes, it can get…read moreexpensive, but I'll give you the lowdown on how to save some time, money, and sanity. Parking: Parking at the fairgrounds is $15, but it's not guaranteed to be available. The lot fills up early, and once it does, they put out the cones; they'll remove the cones when a few spaces become vacant. Your best bet is Orange Coast College, where parking is $10 via QR code at the parking lots. It's only about a block away on Fairview. I wish they'd bring back the Experian shuttle. Wear comfortable shoes: You will definitely get your steps in at the OC Fair! Heels are a hard 'no' unless you enjoy crying on the walk back to your car. Flip-flops are okay, but be prepared for your pretty exposed feet to be pretty dirty by the end of the day. This year, the lines to enter the gates moved much quicker. Have your e-tickets ready to go. Most things are cashless--bars, food trucks, games, etc.--but I'd still bring some cash just in case. ATMs are available on the property. Entertainment: Concerts and shows are held at the Pacific Amphitheater and The Hangar. There's plenty of space outside The Hangar to enjoy the show, so you don't necessarily have to spend extra money on a ticket. There are also several smaller stages scattered throughout the fairgrounds with live entertainment. Food: Food vendors are everywhere, with options ranging from Wahlburgers and Hawaiian food to donuts, Thrifty ice cream, BBQ, and more. We always get the Impossible Burger from Wahlburgers. You can't go wrong with it, but the price is definitely steep. And you have to top off the fair experience with a Chocolate Malted Crunch ice cream from the famous Thrifty's! Games: Want to win a prize for your loved one? Some games take skill, while others are pure luck. I'd avoid the basketball game where you have to make two shots in a row...unless you're a pro. The water gun games are fun with a group, especially when everyone is competing for a medium plushie. I also enjoy the games where you throw a ball to break a plate or bottle. And then there's the elite prize, which is only allowed once per fair. If you're curious, message me. Tickets for games and rides can be purchased at the booths or online. Shopping & attractions: I'd definitely recommend checking out the free art installations and the indoor shopping/hobby areas. We found a new vendor this year, The House of Halloween, with vintage-looking umbrellas, a Predator leather mask, Halloween-themed bags, and other fun stuff. My go-to shop every year is Nifty Fifty, which has book-like purses and bags, cool metal signs, and fun '50s memorabilia. Face painting is another fair favorite, but beware--the lines can get pretty long. And don't forget to visit the farm animals! There was even some friendly animal racing happening this year. Drinks: A few of the bar areas had live music and dancing. Drinks are pricey, and you'll need to have your ID checked before they give you a bracelet that allows you to purchase alcohol. Save some money: The OC Fair has some pretty good deals during the week that can help cut down the cost of food and drinks, so check those out before you go. If you want to avoid spending money on food altogether, get your hand stamped before exiting and bring a cooler to keep in your car with sandwiches and water. That way, you can take a food break without having to buy another overpriced fair meal. Final tips: Avoid the last weekend of the OC Fair if you can. Traffic on the streets and inside the fairgrounds can be A LOT. If you're arriving during the day, bring sunblock, sunglasses, and a hat. There are lockers available near the entrances, although I'd personally just bring a backpack to hold everything you need. The OC Fair may not be the cheapest day out, but with a little planning, you can have a great time without completely emptying your wallet.
