Mostly known for its annual fair but the grounds host a dirt racetrack with a seasonal schedule for loyal fans and racers. Outdoor amphitheatre for small venue possibilities of music & entertainment. Seperate halls for displays or other activities. Little league ballpark. Horse arena and some on-site camper hook-ups. New Hall with restored antique bar just opened. All reasonably priced... More

This is one of those places where you just have to get out of the car and walk for a while. Have your camera ready. THe best part about the fair was the farm equipment display.

Our Santa Cruz Co Fair is by far the best and have been attending for over 30 years. Well organized and a special thanks to the volunteers to help make the Fair a success.

We try to go to at least one Fair every Summer. The Santa Cruz County Fair never dissapoints us. They have every type of exhibit and activity you would expect including great Fair Food.

Enjoyed walking around the many vendors shopping and eating tasty treats such as carmel apples covered in chocolate. We also enjoyed free exhibits and the pony ride.

Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds is an excellent place to attend a county fair ... learn about arigculture, pottery and other items of local interest. Take the opportunity to visit the lovely, restored historic Rodgers House on the fairgrounds site.

I went to the Wines and roses Chartiy show and raffle and eat to much and had a great time.

We went to the races at the dirt track - Ocean Speedway - located inside the fairgrounds. Fairgrounds had a lot of permanent really cool looking buildings that surely have been there awhile. We may come back for the fair sometime. We enjoyed the races, the food, and the people were all very nice. Parking was close and fine too!... More

Great fun at the Santa Cruz county fairgrounds every Friday nite. When its day light savings time its race season. Some Sat. nights too. So for some fun go camping in the redwoods in the hills above the track at Mt. Madonna state park or at the ocean at the two other state parks, they are close to the track.... More
