This place is really fun. They have a lot of cool stuff for sale and offer fun for all ages. Some items are a bit expensive but that’s not even a problem.

Disappointed farm animals were removed granddaughter was looking forward to see them entrance price for children should have drop last day of fair more seating needed around the grounds difficult for people with disabilities elderly I surly was proud of the quick response of the officers took control when a disturbance broke out great job food was very over price I had a great time with daughter and granddaughter Thank-You

It was fun being among other people. The kids had fun. The food was expensive, the rides are the same, and it’s gonna cost you to have a good time. Don’t go to the fair if you are not ready to break your wallet. Play at your own risk. Have fun everyone.

Kern fair employees were excellent. Monica performing was beautiful. Unfortunately so, so many of the fair goers were so brutally rude & were not disabled friendly. 20 or more fair goers cut in front of me pushing my walker aside so they could join other friends and/or family in line to get to the best Monica concert seats & I was threatened by a woman behind my disabled spot for blocking her view. These rude individuals came to mind when the concert emcee said Crime Won't Stop so make sure you call our law firm to get you out of trouble! Disabled seating was really bad placement & they couldn't keep the audience respectful of blocking aisles but I think its great they were able to put the fair together in 2 months for people to enjoy. They were even giving out vaccines. I won't ever attend an event there in Kern again. I didn't feel safe. Sorry, I'm just being honest

The food is always good here. There's so much of a selection to give you a coronary. The animals are always fun to see and check out. The rides are very questionable and very rickety. The little trailer haunted houses/mazez are great for the kids. The airplane hangars are filled with a lot of commercial businesses and not enough local arts and crafts stuff and small local businesses selling what they've made. It was pretty decent for all the fair has been through during covid and the old board members embezzling all the fair money. They did what they could and pulled it off. The fast lane pass for the rides needs to disappear though. That's just bull you know what.

We had fun we were able to get fast pass for our two autistic boys that don't do well in lines they enjoyed allot of the rides and it made it fun for us to see them having a good time. Thank you. As always the food is great.

Was fun visiting there with kids. Lots of attractions and rides. Had great family time

It's still fun and if you get there when they open you'll be able to enjoy the rides better

We enjoyed walking around and eating all the fun fair food. The dog show was awesome, so much good energy. What we didn’t like was the double charge for buying tickets online. I called and the rep said the money would return to my account in a few days. Its Wednesday and we went on Friday and the money still hasn’t been returned.We would’ve just purchased tickets cash if we’d known they were going to double charge us. That was A LOT of money and not something I’ve ever seen happen. Very unsatisfied with the financial aspect of the fair.

Great environment, has a bit of everything you'd think a fair should have. The attractions, to include their band selections, are more bang for the buck (at least for entrance, as once you're in it's like disney prices for food and other fees). Overall, though, well-worth it.
