    Forgot my passport, but will be back to get a glock!
    Josephine C.

    SPECIFICALLY FOR THE GUN SHOW: Good amount of dealers with a wide variety of guns. Entrance fee was 12/person. Since social distancing is in place, they hosted it in two buildings. Although masks were required, a lot of people had it on their chin. A few dealers didn't wear masks too. I had several questions and appreciated how they were attentive and knowledgable. The only downside, they didnt have a lot of ammo for sale.

    Solano Vaccine site
    Gil M.

    This review is for the covid-19 vaccination site. I came here to do all 3 of my Moderna vaccinations. But they service Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer, pediatric vaccinations and boosters. No need for an appointment, they see everyone. The whole operation is well organized, fast and efficient! They had TV and music playing so you don't get too bored waiting for your observation period. Friendly staff and they even had free food this time! I was so glad I didn't eat breakfast yet hahaha. The Chicken was a nice treat with a side of potatoes and water. I was a happily surprised. It was such a nice gesture, we gave tip. Well Solano County residents, stay safe, get your vaccinations, stay hungry adventurous, and happy Yelping!

    Been here 4x to get my vaccine and my husband's vaccine. We can say how impressed we are with the process. From arrival to departure. They have traffic team directing everyone to designated parking. Staff/volunteers making sure you fill out the paper work needed and the healthcare staff administering the vaccine. Very smooth process. We are very happy with our experience. The fairground is huge and clean and organized.

    This weekend only they are having a huge Spa sale! But what caught our eye was the 40-80% off. So to be straight forward, we already know that the Spas that are 80% off have to be the low end models, that are much smaller. The sellers will argue.... but, that all depends on what your looking for. Example they have some ginormous swim spas. They are a pretty sight to see! But of course you would need a huge backyard that would accommodate such a large spa. We know they are not 80% off! But if you can afford one, wow! You could have a block party in your back yard! The wife and I were piddling around just browsing, trying to hear what all the sales people were saying to other customers, you know. Being nosey! We have a 15 year old Spa that has seen better days. Now it just bakes in the sun, every summer. Yuck! Did I mention if you should buy a Spa, that not only do they have finance plans they also, will haul away your old Spa and bury it! That has to be a saving of $400-$500 bucks, for reals. Those hauler trucks from Home Depot ain't cheap! We found a decent 6 person Spa. So we left....delivery may take a couple of months. But I'm patient.... Thanks Greg/ Gregg..... I never know if I should use 1 g or 2 g's.

    Dog show this weekend
    Edwin R.

    DOG SHOW WEEKEND! I was here back in March 2012 for their 4 days dog show cluster weekend -- hosted by the "San Mateo Kennel Club" and the "Oakland Kennel Club." My company also setup a Pilot booth here testing the waters in the pet industry. Most of the dog shows are usually held at a county fairground. The Solano County Fairgrounds holds special memory for me. This is where I showed my very first show dog. Back then, I was a "puppy" too! It feels like it was only yesterday! Times have change and with the economy - I have seen the deterioration in the showground. They used to be all spiff up and newly painted almost every year. Today, the grounds have a lot of pot holes and in need of TLC. Some of the buildings are getting pretty worn down compare to when I was a kid when they were spotless! After Mare Island closed, the city of Vallejo really had a dramatic impact of low turnout! Fortunately, the horse racing brings regulars to the grounds and keeps the revenue steady! I hope! Interestingly enough, I have also noticed a significant drop of entries at the dog shows particularly at this show in Vallejo. Back then, Vallejo being centrally located, it drew thousands of exhibitors as far as neighboring states because of its central location. Back then, I would see lots of people everywhere on the show grounds, and back then - you had to fight for space to even groom your dog outdoors! Sadly today - with this tough economy and with the price of gas soaring up to $4.50 per gallon - many exhibitors have decided not to participate or show closer to home. I hope that the economy will pick up and that more and more events will be held here so that the Solano County Fairgrounds will continue to live up to its legacy of being a "family fairground!"

    Solano County Fair's 60th Anniversary.
    Gary E.

    It must have been eons ago since I've gone to a local Fair. This year happens to be Solano County Fair's 60th Anniversary and our first time visit. I suggest you give yourself about a half an hour window to deal with the traffic jam immediately after you take the freeway exit. Same exit for folks who are headed for Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. Parking was 6 bucks and general admission 8. Seniors and kids discounted pricing, 5 and under free. I purchased our tickets online. Pretty neat Fair! A good number of food vendors to choose from. Of course I went straight for the smoked pork ribs yummy! Lots of exhibits, from food cooking competition winners to awarded school science projects. Hosted vendor booths showcased their products as well. All sorts of farm animals, carnival games and rides, live shows, labeled artist concerts and arts & crafts for the kids. Weather was beautiful and it was fun for the whole family...

    Color Vibe 5k race! Soooo fun!!
    Fer R.

    For the Solano County Fairgrounds in my humbled opinion....I feel this piece of land is well used, well kept up and quite pretty! Its got huge matured trees between halls and everything is lush this time of year. I've been there a hand full of times now and used the restroom and ALWAYS the women's restrooms were clean and stocked. In the Color Vibe 5K Run is usually held here. I participated this year and the "party" was out in the parking lot and we ran all around the horse stalls along the freeway (not THAT close), through the track and finish at the Exhibition hall (which I think there is only one of..the others are called something different). I've frequented the Gun Shows they've had here. They are held in the Exhibition Hall. A little tight but if folks would LEAVE HOME THE KIDS AND STROLLERS it might be a bit easier for those of us whom choose to think of the Show to be of mature adult kinda show. C'mon folks... don't hate!! Remember this is MY OPINION. Dog shows are also held here. Usually its $10 bucks to park and whatever the shows fee which can be bought at the Tickets booth. One located at the front of the Exhibition Hall. Also in that hall is a snack bar. Sells hot dogs, corn dogs, chicken strips...finger foods, few drinks, chips, coffee. A few tall tables are in the area to eat at. No vending machine. Many years back I came to a wedding here and even from what I can remember from then is that I thought it to be a very spacious and pretty place. Not sure if they still allow weddings here but if there was...it'd be hella cool! Horse Racing is fun here...usualy free parking. Sundays are $1 BEER!! And of course the Solano County Fair!! Usually the last weekend of July and the first week of August. #15/365

    Worn down place. Not very clean. It serves it's purpose, I guess. They need to cut the grass once in a while.

    For the power outage, and I looked up this place where we can hangout for electricity to charge our devices... is this the place?

    Sorry, but no. There has been some confusion on the information being posted. Our understanding is that the PG&E community resource center will be located across the street from the Fairgrounds at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, located at 1001… Read more

    The Lighthouse

    "There is a light that shines special for you and me..." - The Light by Common…read more ~ THE AMBIANCE ~ Are we in the Bay or are we in Hawaii? Newport Beach? Is this even Vallejo? Karlo and I toured two other venues before visiting the Lighthouse well over a year ago and immediately fell in love with the lush greenery, the palm trees, and the view overlooking the water. The Lighthouse felt like a destination even though it's in the Bay Area. It truly is a hidden gem and we got a lot of questions from our guests as to how we found this place. As a kid, I would often go to Suisun for the weekends with my Lola (Grandma) to visit family. The Carquinez bridge was pretty much the halfway point to getting home or to my Aunt's place - Crossing the Bridge and seeing the C&H Sugar factory served as a marker and indicator for me that I was almost home or almost there. At the venue, there is a pathway that leads to a lookout point where you'll see both the bridge and the sugar factory, and it was then we knew that we were going to get married here. ~ THE VENUE ~ The venue has two lawn areas which naturally lend themselves to a ceremony or cocktail hour space. It's absolutely beautiful. We had our ceremony on the East Lawn (smaller lawn area to the left when facing the Lighthouse from the parking lot). It has a downward slope which made for an amphitheater like setting. We used the green palms as a backdrop for our ceremony and to be honest - it's beautiful as is even without decor. The bigger lawn area is where we had our Cocktail hour and it was the perfect setting and large enough to host 92 guests. We wanted an all in one space where we could have the ceremony and reception at one place, and the Lighthouse offered that. The indoor banquet hall fit our guest count and the windows all around gave a spectacular view to the marina and the sun set. The only downside is the four pillars that hold up the Lighthouse as it does block the view in certain angles especially when my husband and I had our first dance; however, guests got out of their seats to have a closer look. The kitchen also isn't a full kitchen so be aware of this. There's no stove to cook on or to keep food warm, and there is no ice machine. This one didn't really affect us as we had paella catered and everything was done outside on the paella pans and burners. The biggest selling point is the inn upstairs which accommodates up to 8 guests. Our brothers have younger children and we knew that this would be most convenient for them as the kids nap/are in need of a diaper change/need an area to pump. We had two guests who needed to pump and it was nice to be able to offer a comfortable place for them to do so in privacy without having to take up a bathroom stall in the hall. The inn is well equipped, the beds were comfortable, and the decor is tasteful and we loved how history was incorporated in the small touches. It really made for beautiful getting ready photos and was such a pleasure to wake up to a view like that. ~ THE PEOPLE ~ As if the venue is not enough, the people behind the Lighthouse are truly the heart of it all. Crystal, Maggie and Alma like a what lighthouse does, guided us throughout the planning process, checked-in and made sure we were okay throughout the evening. They were so kind through it all and even made sure that my elderly parents were comfortable as mobility is an issue. We booked our vendors based on two things: kindness & connection, and we will never take for granted the hospitality they have offered us both leading up to our Wedding day and on the day-of. Thank you for everything! All in all, if you're looking for a one-of-a-kind, intimate venue, the Lighthouse is it. My husband and I are already looking forward to planning another event here in the near future!

I cannot stress enough how great of an experience the planning process and day of was for my husband and I. The beautiful location and event space created a magical backdrop for all of our guests. Many of whom commented on how they loved the location with unbeatable views. Throughout the planning process , we worked with Maggie and her attention to detail and bright personality made the process fun and exciting. Maggie was always reachable by email, text, and call. She and Alma were there the day of the wedding to make sure everything went as planned . Working with them was so easy and they truly made our day even more special. We had a Thursday wedding and the accommodations to the upstairs living space was a perfect photo op spot for the "getting ready" photos , but also allowed our small family to have an intimate dinner the night before to mentally prepare. We found such marvelous vendors on their preferred list. And could not have been happier with the services provided. All that being said, I highly recommend working with the lighthouse to create a highly personalized experience for you and your guests for your next upcoming occasion.
