They should be getting close to bulldozing the whole thing and starting over. All of the buildings are ancient and parking is confusing. But, it's the state fairgrounds and you shouldn't expect too much. If you go to an event other than the state fair, you'll be disappointed with the high prices for parking, figuring out where to park, trying...

Crowded, hot, expensive, fun up to a point. Several rides were not running when we were there. Suggest going early before it's too crowded and hot!

This was my first time at the Ohio State Rabbit Show. It's always in May and even though we've been involved in rabbits for well over 10 years, I've never made it to this show. Nice location.

We visited the fairgrounds for the fall Oktoberfest. We had a wonderful time walking the grounds. We have also attended the Ohio State Fair many years. It is a very nice place in our state capital to visit. There are always great headliners peforming at the fair plus many exhibits to see. Please attend sometime if you never have.

We visited for Beef Expo 2013 which was very nice. We've been to several events at the Fairgrounds and are always pleased with the facility.
