Came for the Fiesta Ware sale in September, 2015. Like the sale, but was a bit of a maze driving and finding it.

Kristopher Weiss

If you are feeling bad about yourself, go to the Ohio State Fair , have a look around and, voila, everything seems fine.

Try the fried butter at the place with the funnel cake place with teal flags in front of the celeste center. Sounds gross but its delicious!!

Audrey Worcester

Very underclass for being the ohio state fairgrounds. This is very dirty and it is extremely un-impressive. Very messy and not kept up. Even the surrounding area especially osu rentals are trashy.

Baylee Sheets

Do NOT I repeat do NOT ride the space roller. It is the worst thing you will ever experience in your entire life. I think I have PTSD.

Edward Guevara

Try the pull-up challenge at the Marine booth by Gate 3!

Unless I missed it, I never saw a diaper changing station. No signs for one and none of the women's restrooms I used were equipped. Prepare to be creative if you need to change your child's diaper.
