Some stores had a booth in front of their brick and mortar. I appreciated the live music and was able to find a comfy area to sit and enjoy. I also appreciated all the security that was about the faire. Parking can be a challenge so arrive early. One of my top three fav faire!

What you want to do is walk around first then come back for the performances. I enjoyed the dragon on the floating water. Different dragons and monsters to ride for photos. I think I would come back here with a group. Definitely a good date event.

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.

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.

There's something for everyone: a giant pumpkin patch, gorgeous sunflower fields, a fun petting farm, and tons of great food and activities. The sunflower fields were one of my favorite part -- absolutely beautiful and perfect for photos. The petting farm was such a cute touch too (the sheep definitely stole the show). You can tell the students really put their heart into making the whole event feel welcoming and organized. We also stopped by the Farm Store on our way out and stocked up on fresh produce, wine (they grow their own grapes!), and some amazing pumpkin bread.

Attended CCP Pumpkin patch festival this year and had a good experience on the day of my visit…read more Upon entering the main entrance, there were signs for the Pumpkin patch/Corn maze/ Petting zoo/ Sunflower area, and a scheduled list of small business vendors participating in the CCP vegetable garden. Got there when the event first open, crowd was too massive and was able to take some really great pictures in the Pumpkin area. The petting zoo was really fun- Goats and herds of sheep were walking around the petting area awaiting to be fed (really liked the cleaning station near the exit for easy hand washing), animals were really mellow- which created a fun environment for kids. Agreed with some reviews; the entrance fee is a bit pricey, though I did enjoy this festival

I love coming to their circus…read more Last year it was the brewery, before it opened to the public, and it was an awesome setting. I dressed up as the Lagunitas Dog Ring Master, and it was hot. This year I was leery once I realized it was going to be at the fairplex, we'd be missing out on the awesome vibe at the brewery. I decided to give it a shot anyway. It was just as fun, they contained it in the Mexican Village area. They have free carnival games with prizes, you get a beer upon admission and a token for beer. People dress up, they have circus acts, and music. Looking forward to going again next year.

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

The Asian American Expo is a fantastic way to discover new products; especially food products!…read more This was my second time attending the AAE and as amazing as it was, it wasn't as fun as last year's, which had way more brands and samples (as well as deals). Think, buying products at wholesale prices, without having to buy them in bulk. There were a lot of the usual sponsors, like Toyota that had a wonderful set up; selling merch, giving swag, and having a few display vehicles to wow the patrons. There were also a lot of cultural dances to watch if you wanted to just relax in one place, sit down and watch some drummers drumming or dancers dancing. They were all so beautiful with their make up and outfits! Another note, both years I attended, there was also a simultaneous expo next door called anime impulse. You could walk around on that side too which showcased some neat cars, artisans selling crafts and merchandise, and a whole room full of kpop(Kfest), as well as cosplayers walking around. There was definitely a lot going on and it's definitely worth the 30$ entry ticket and 20$ parking. There were also shuttles (like the ones at Disneyland) taking people to and from their vehicles from the giant parking lot to the venue which was very nice and convenient. A lot of people bring suitcases or wagons to shop without having to keep going to and from their vehicles in the parking lot too often, dropping off goods (it gets heavy and hard to walk around!)

It was my first time ever to visit the Asian American Expo. This is the expo's 8th year and I can…read moredefinitely see why it is a popular event! The expo this year was held at the Pomona Fairflex. We arrived around 11:30 am and the entrance already had quite a long line. I took a bit of time to get our parking ticket. Parking is $21 but there's definitely plenty of parking. We chose to park towards the back so it was a bit of a walk but we noticed there's also a mini tram to take for folks who prefer a ride versus walking. Getting through the actual main entrance to the expo was quick and easy. Once in, it's off to a lot of different booths, shows and photo ops! The Asian American Expo was in Hall 4 and it housed a ton of different booths offering Asian food and drinks. One could basically almost find any Asian food or drink that exists. It was that extensive! I saw hot pot broths, lots of noodles, Chinese onion pancakes, pineapple cake, cookies, rolls and so much more. Many of the booths offered free samples. Aside from food and drinks, there were also giveaway booths from different casinos (seemed to be popular thing with a lot of visitors as I saw long lines). There were also some beauty and massage booths. There were also various shows throughout the day. From kung fu dancing to karaoke, the entertainment was a lot of fun! Outside of the hall, there were lots of food booths. They are the booths you typically would see at fairs and night markets. We enjoyed some bbq sticks, Peking duck rolls and boba. On average expect to pay about $15 or more per booth. This year Asian American Expo was at the same time as K-Play K-POP convention and Anime Impulse (more on those events in a future Yelp review). A ticket to the Asian American Expo included entrance to those events too! A day pass ticket was $29.42 or you could purchase a 1 day pass 4 pack for $97.77. The expo ran from 10am to 7pm- plenty of time to get in your share of samples, shows and shopping! Overall I had a fun time at the Asian American Expo and would go again.

this is a MUST at the fair! After wine tasting and having some awesome conversations with the lady…read morethat was pouring us the wine, she recommended the Street Kitchen truck for food for the night at the fair. So glad we listened. We ordered a lobster grilled cheese sandwich and I can say that it is BY FAR the very best sandwich I've ever had and for sure the best food I've ever tasted at the fair. The crispy bread and the gooey cheese, lots of avocado and the lobster! Just heaven, pure pure heaven. Just talking about it makes my mouth drool. The spicy sauce and the cheese all complimented each other without covering up the sweet taste of the lobster. The sandwich was big enough and filling enough to share. They had so much delicious food options that I would def want to go back for. Such options like their filet mignon quesadilla, kobe sliders and the pork belly tacos (I believe). I want more more more !!!!

They had 3 different locations throughout the fair and I was very happy with product and most of all the service from these employees. Putting and dealing with customers all day long,they continued to provide the best service. letting you try the products and many juices. Oh I forgot too say its Mexican Food. I got to tell you something, As I was sitting there an employees brought over a Funnel cake and she saw I was looking at it, and within minutes she had offered me to taste it. How many times have you gone to eat out an employee has done that. Thank You Alma from Del Real Foods.
