It's as if the average Fair took a dump and produced this place…read more I checked in and this is what came up for the Orange County Fair. I guess they run other things here, but I won't ever return to find out. Pretty much the worst Fair I've ever been to. Extremely limited vendors and just blah all around. Rides were rickety and there was a smaller selection than most other Fairs. They had an antique fire truck exhibit, but it didn't seem welcoming and friendly. Sonic reps were handing out vouchers for "free" stuff - but when you read the print you need to purchase one at regular price first with limits on how many you could use at a sitting. The petting zoo - I felt horrible for the caged animals and wished the animals feeding them were the ones really locked in the cages instead. The people who run the games were too mouthy and aggressive. One was lucky that I was with my son. I understand they need to draw business to their usual scammy games, but there is a line and a limit. The staff in general was blah and nothing special. Food is what it is. If you know Fair food, you know what you're getting then and price. There was a decent amount of food selections though. Parking lot is large, but you're driving over dirt, gravel, broken concrete, grass, rocks, and other little surprises. All of the grounds should actually be redone but the parking lot is in greater need. All in all a poor and sorry excuse for a Fair. Never again. Nothing like other area Fairs and a waste of time and money.

Needless to say, we purchased 3-day camping tickets back in December the first three minutes they went on sale, and all had a killer weekend! The inaugural Mysteryland USA festival featured ten combined stages/areas stages with a Sunday School 3-stage mini-fest going on all weekend. A Friday night pre-party hosted by Nicky Romero was available to those with Nomad weekend camping passes, and Saturday/Sunday set times ran from 1pm all the way till 2am both days. Steve Aoki closed out the main stage on Saturday and Kaskade did the honors on Sunday, but from open to close, our day was jam-packed with killer sets both days, and plenty of exploring and dancing all around. A+ on stage design, sound, lighting, and of course, the talent! The healing garden, complete with yoga and other cool stuff added some well-needed relaxation/rejuvenation to an otherwise high-energy weekend, and there were plenty of (albeit REALLY pricey) food options. Best of all, the campgrounds provided solace just a short walk away from the party! I'm grading on a curve since this is their first time here in the states, but there's a short list for improvement: 1 - Birdie Bucks - Yes, the festival was cashless, with all purchases scanned from your wristband, but you could only purchase "Birdie Bucks" at select locations, and at the "exchange rate" of $10 USD for 9 Birdie Bucks. They claim to refund unused bucks after the festival, but then deduct a $5 service charge, so unless you want to lose money, you need to be planning & doing math so as to use all your wristband funds...and who the hell wants to do that at a festival?! Compound that with the fact that the entire system went down for a few hours, paralyzing all purchases, and you've got reason to reconsider the rationale for the system. ...Fortunately, I found a workaround to the leftover Bucks situation - Go to the merch shop (which accepts BOTH cash and Birdie Bucks), make a purchase, deplete your wristband balance first, then pay the balance in cash. 2 - Water refill stations - located dangerously close (read: inside) the outhouse area causing even more congestion, with not nearly enough pressure to fill up those camelbaks. Here's where they could take a page from Electric Zoo or EDC and have dedicated high-pressure water refill stations manned by volunteers to keep the line moving and the crowd spread out. All in all, in my mind, ID&T, the Mysteryland organizers did a terrific job their first year, and I hope that the Bethel Woods organizers feel the same so we can party on again next Memorial Day weekend!

Do I really want to reveal the mystery that is Mysteryland? As much as I want to keep this place a…read moresecret, hidden away for no one else to discover, I have to shout from the rooftops just how amazing this festival is. 1) The Logistics - Getting in, out, and around is EASY! Having been to many other festivals where just parking your car is a nightmare, Mysteryland had it all figured out. The little roads around the fest took a beating with heavy traffic but it was nothing like Woodstock back in the day I'm sure. The bathrooms were kept extremely clean at all times. I never had issues with toilet paper or disgusting porta-potties. 2) The People - Everyone was so nice and respectful. The staff were always wishing for us to have an amazing time. I loved the vibes here! 4) The Music - A nice selection of genres from hip top and trap to dark techno and everything in between. The sound was amazing! 5) The Stages - They were so perfectly placed. It was easy to go from stage to stage in 5 minutes. I saw so many artists in one day, I was so surprised! The design of the stages is so unique and each has their own vibe. With a festival that is not sold out like Mysteryland, getting to the front of each stage is an easy task. Where you would expect people to be sardines rammed up against the rail, it is the complete opposite. I vowed to never go front row at a show again after recieving many bruises after Steve Aoki in Toronto. Well here I was, front row at Claude Von Stroke and I had a good foot around me to dance and enjoy myself. I was never shoved or pushed once the entire weekend. 6) The Camping - Camp sites were huge and spacious. The Plaza Central with shops, food, and activities stayed open 24/7 which was a big plus. The general store had everything from underwear to extra tents and sleeping bags. 7) The History - This is where WOODSTOCK HAPPENED!! That is probably the most amazing thing about all of this. The hill we climb each day to go to the festival is where thousands of people stood to watch some of the greatest acts to ever live. The museum on site is very well done and can bring a tear to your eye. So much emotion in one place. Music really does bring everyone together. I'll be back Mysteryland! As long as you are around, I will be coming to visit!!

I'm very confused and conflicted as I'm writing this review as everyone is giving such high grades…read more So let me start from the beginning. We're a big baseball family. We go to multiple MLB and minor league stadiums a year. This is Minor League Stadium #14 as we're getting ready to hit August. I have to be completely honest. This is probably my least favorite Stadium. Began when we first got in and the boys went to hang out by the field to try to get a toss up. Usher told us if we didn't have tickets for the section, we can't hang out there. Really?? MLB, Triple A, Double A, Single A, Independent Leagues; never had this issue. I understand if it was getting crowded but the whole game there might have been 8 people in that section. Right out of the gate, things are going south. We then go to the team store as we always get a logo baseball for every game we go to. We have a whole wall with all the baseballs of the games we've been to in UV cases. They're out of baseballs!!! I then go to the taco cart to get "nachos in a helmet". They're out of helmets!!!! So they put them in a cardboard box. I also got a chili dog which was below average at best. Our ritual is, top of the 6th inning is for ice cream. We go to get Dippin Dots... yep... out of mini-helmets AND out of every flavor except banana split or cookies and cream in a plastic to go bag. Absolutely unacceptable for an MLB minor league affiliated team. The field was patched like a Frankenstein job at every base. I had very good seats but then again, I picked them online. Parking was $7 and tickets were $17 a ticket which I think is a little steep for a High A game with nothing to offer their fans except whatever they have left over and trying to get rid of. I saw a good game because I'm a Mets fan and the Cyclones won but I'm glad I only invested a little over an hour drive each way because the experience was subpar.

High - churro fried dough. Eddie, you magical, magical man. I'd eat that churro fried dough all day. It was beautiful and delicious. (The churros were good too - the Barbie churros are a pass, just pink chemical flavor, the chocolate syrup on churros - meh, fine but not magic, the Bavarian cream ones - YES.) Also, DIPPIN DOTS! Low - the tacos. An abomination. I'm mad that I paid for them AND that I ate them. The beef was unseasoned, the shells were stale, the lettuce and cheese fell out everywhere - AVOID AT ALL COSTS. If it's between eating these tacos and starvation....think long and hard about it. Also, the baseball helmet nachos were SAD. If you're vegetarian, you're gonna be hard up here. Our friend literally had cheese sprinkled on chips, with a packaged cup of Heinz salsa. She asked about the pump container of jalapeño cheese and got a blank stare in return. You have to really know or ask for things. We got soft pretzels, didn't see cheese or anything on the menu or at the counter - but saw other folks walking around with cheese for their pretzels?! Were we at the wrong stand? I want cheese! Not food related, but my three year old really wanted to run on the field so we asked if he could after the game was over and got shot down. Kinda lame, but whatevs.
