I didn't get the young kids' experience of this fair, since I grew up in the Northeast with much smaller county fairs, but as an adult I've been going almost every year for the past 5 years. Even though it's mostly the same stuff year after year, it's still worth it each year. Not sure where to advise you to...

The size of the fair grounds was very good for all the vendors of the car parts swap meet.

I've gone every year for 30+ years. My kids love the rides, I love the food. You can eat from one side of the midway to the other and still not have had every delishious, sinful, fried concoction they offer. Don't miss the potbellied pig races!

Parking for that place is poor! You have to walk a mile to get to the event, and there are empty parking lots all around it that you can't park at!!

Was at the Ohio State Fairgrounds for the Equine Affaire. Grounds were clean and was easy to find the buildings for clinics and shopping.

During the State fair, it is the best. Other times of the year, you need to hope the fairgrounds is hosting something you enjoy.

Easy to get in/out. Parking was an additional $5. RV show was a nice setup inside the Expo center. The east side Columbus neighborhood does not look very safe if we were through there after dark.
