Yolo County Fairgrounds

Great place to hold major events and shows trade auto. This is what got me to show interest

No entrance fee. $5 parking across the street in the shopping mall. We came here last Saturday, it was so hot! The hottest day to be going to the fair! We come here occasionally when the fair comes into town.We always come for their tacos, delicious fried tacos stuffed with ground meat, topped with tomatoes and lettuce. They are freaking delicious! Other than that, they have your typical fairground foods, mostly fried goodies. We came during the afternoon, when the sun was at it's hottest. We had to take cover and try to cool down inside their buildings, that didn't help much due to lack of A/C, but they had giant fans blowing to cool people down from the inside. This is when you go and track down vendors serving cool treats! I got one of those Hawaiian shaved ice, it was delicious! Just perfect for hot days! They hold annual exhibits from your typical vendor booths, to art galleries, and quilt/sewing galleries. It was nice to see all the hard work put into creating such events. Like I said before, we only come for their tacos. Nothing really special about this fair, but I try to come once a year.

SO DISAPPOINTING 2022! Not open weekday afternoons. No early access to the tacos. Cannot bring in your own sodas (only water in plastic bottles). Long time food vendors banished (where are the wonderful cinnamon rolls?). No paper tickets to hand out to the kids so they can run around and choose their rides. Only digital tickets where you must download the app to know how much is left. Traditions tossed away. Wow...

Just needed an overnight spot. It's about 4 miles off the interstate but that's its only flaw. Nice huge gravel sites, reasonably priced. Ran into the sheriff there who said it is a very safe location for Davis. Self check in, first come first served. Of course there is the usual long term ears there but they are pipeline workers and the sheriff monitors frequently.

This review is for the fairgrounds themselves instead of the Yolo County Fair. The fair itself is really good and should have a separate listing, but the fairgrounds are used for many other events. The fairgrounds are located in the southeast portion of Woodland along East and Gum streets near the County Fair Mall, of course.Access is an issue for the fairgrounds. It is not near a major road or freeway in Woodland requiring navigation through the surrounding residential neighborhoods, although the city does have decent signage along the route. There is parking on site which may require a fee, although many people appear to park at the mall for free.The layout of the fairgrounds is somewhat haphazard with random buildings and exhibit halls all over the place. Signage is limited with no clear direction to where various exhibits and facilities are located. This does add a little to the charm of the place leading to wandering and exploring, but it is hard to determine where you should and should not walk.Staff were pretty good with helpful parking attendants and volunteers. I appreciate the hard work and sponsorships required to keep the place operating at a low cost to the community, but I also feel that Yolo County deserves a better place to represent the community. A little extra cash could really make this a destination for the region. Until then, the Yolo County Fairgrounds are a decent place for a great county fair.

This review is on the fairgrounds facility not a specific event.I have came to these fairgrounds for a few different events. I come here at least once a year for the Scottish Games.The parking is okay. they do a good job managing the traffic and parking flow.There are plenty of buildings for shops and such. the livestock area is designed well. They have a good amount of restrooms and lots of shade around.Works well for the events I have been to here.

This is a small OK park, graveled throughout. There are barking dogs that bark ALL day-and-night in the trailer park next to it. The fairgrounds is being used as the dirt, sand and rock pile for construction on streets around the area constant traffic and constant noise from the equipment.

Old but nice looking fairgrounds. We were staying at the rv park. Not much to speak of. No events were going on, so quiet on the fairgrounds property.

I'm sorry honey, I dragged you to the county fair for lunch and viewing the animals when you wanted to go to Costco for a slice of pizza. Food choices during the county fair were expensive and limited. We paid almost $20 for two simple sandwiches, his a pulled pork which was mainly sauce and me a chicken. Mine had a lot of chicken in it, almost three boneless thighs, grilled, not smoked. Both were served on a french roll and were very difficult to eat. It was hot and we finally found a drinking faucet as we were leaving. It's attached to the locked bathrooms near the first aid station. There were other bathrooms available throughout the fairgrounds but if there were other drinking faucets, we didn't see them.We did enjoy viewing the animals and did see a calf just born an hour or so earlier. The poor chickens were suffering from the heat. My special talent manifested itself, I managed to step right in the middle of a big fresh pile of cow poop.I enjoy fairs and would go back again another year, provided it's cooler and I remember to bring along water and eat lunch beforehand (maybe that $1.99 slice of pizza from Costco).

Went to the *fair* to get something to eat after standing in line for over 1/2 hour this place has no chiken yet they have it advertised all over the place.I ordered a italian sausage and for $15 dollars what i.got was a dry ass bun with what it looks to me like a regular hot dog with some overcooked green peppers and 3 pieces of onions,, not even close to what they have in the pictures, I asked the guy whats up with that he says they ran out of onions, at 9 pm?Didnt want to.make a scene and ask for my money back but i regret it,, I should of asked for my 15 bucks back,the hot dog was harder than the bun,,worst 15 dollars i have ever spend in my life. obviously never spending a cent on this place again.Be aware and ask first if they have what they advertising and dont spect much from the food either.
