Charlotte Fair

This is truly the definition of a local fair. Visiting out of town, we thought it would be more so it really wasn't quite worth the $12 with $5 parking on top of having to pay for all the games and eat the foods. We spent about 45 minutes there just walking around and checking out the stores. The pig race was quite interesting and fun to look at! 3.5 stars rounded down.

My first time here and I was completely underwhelmed. The food was bad, the staff seemed uninterested and unhappy to be there. The rides weren't the best and I managed to get a really BAD bruise on my upper arm from one of the rides...and I do mean BAD! It's still bruised and this happened two weeks ago. We had to pay a $10 admission fee, then $25 for a wrist band. You could buy tickets but a wrist band seemed like a better deal. Two stars because it was literally something to do on a Saturday. Everything else was two thumbs down.

This place sucks .. it nickels and dimes you to death. The fair is small and it's not worth it don't waste your money.. it cost me 5.00 to park not including admission to get into the fair and not even tickets The men that work the fair were and crass and even vulgar to a certain extent I was very uncomfortable and I was with kids. It totally was not worth the hype save your money for something better

If I could give it a zero I would. I wouldn't even consider it a fair. Parking is $5 which is no big deal. However, parking is very tight. It was difficult for us to reverse out. You have to pay for admission, which is $8, and there are no refunds. That was a disappointment considering the fair itself is very tiny. We walked around the entire fair under ten minutes. There are a handful of rides and six food stands. The food was very mediocre. For a plate of chicken tenders is around $10 and a single corn dog is $4. This was a waste of my time and money.

Meh. It's a local fair, it's good for a local thing. They don't have an extensive list of rides, but they are still great rides. Not really roller coasters, but like the ship and the thing that spins you around. If you have 3 people or less, I say it is worth it to pay 25 bucks for the hand stamps. But you have to pay 5 to park 5 to get in, and then 25 for a handstamp for unlimited rides or like 1.25 per ticket or 20 for 20 tickets. But most rides take 4 or 5 tickets. It is not really a place for really little kids as most of the rides are height restricted. Again for a local thing it's cool. They also have 10$ helicopter rides. Which is a good deal if you want to ride the helicopter. It's a cool thing. It's like spirit airlines. You pay for EVERYTHING. It isn't all inclusive. Don't go with an empty wallet. And stop by an ATM first. You will need 10$ more than you expect. Maybe 20.

Ok, sooooo. This fair was a bit of a sham but, my kids tried to make the best of it. With that said, I was under the impression from what I read online that this was a much bigger fair. Back home we have something called the Big E and let's just say, I thought based on what I read it compared to that. Vendors, shops, rides, and a ton of food. I wish I found the Yelp reviews first. It was $5 to park and $24 just to get in. Add in $20 on tickets (which we had a hard time using with two kids because the rides were lacking) The food was VERY expensive. it didn't take long to blow through $100. It also didn't take long to walk through this and discover we walked in a circle and BOOM we were done. The tacos, pony ride, and fried Oreos is what gave this place 2 stars. I'm slightly being generous. They should not be charging to get into this thing. This is more like a town carnival at best. If there is nothing else to do on a weeknight and your not from the area then it kills about an hour and your pockets. I wouldn't recommend it.

Been coming here for years and it improves every year (bigger layout, more rides, and more entertainment) which is really nice to see and keeps me coming back. I LOVE the petting zoo, Lady Houdini, & Dock Dogs and you can't beat the fair food!

Went last year! Parking was at the speedway and super easy. I went on a week night, so the lines weren't bad. Ate tons of good food!

I have put off creating a yelp account for a while now, but decided to after experiencing this place. My actual rating would be a -3 if possible due to the workers attitudes alone. I've never been so turned away from an establishment just based off of customer service. I'm not going into details on what was said...I'm a pretty laid back person that doesn't get offended easily and will take a good bit of crap from people but we ended up only staying an hour or so just because of the quality time we had experienced while being there in that short amount of time. Ps: don't let your kids even lay a finger on the games (kids will be kids and will touch stuff) without being harassed for paying $5 per game for some shitty dirty toys. Save yourself a trip till they change some things up..NOT worth the money or time!
