I judged beer in the VIP area, it was very nice. Later I drove around the fair grounds, they were impeccably maintained. It looks like a great facility.

There is a nice little path by my house that will take you up to the fairgrounds. They do a great job at maintaining the park. When its time for the Arapahoe County Fair or Punkin Chunkin they are both fun to go to. The only thing that sucks is the traffic that gets backed up on Quincy when there is an event at the fairgrounds.

From the County Fair, to JBF sales, to Pictures on the Plains and more, this place is amazing. Its hidden out there and im happy for that because it keeps this gem a secret for us to enjoy.

More space rented than we needed. More tables and chairs would have been good.

Good venue for garage sale. A little slow on admissions. Good assortment of goods.

I dont get the high ratings for this fair. While the admission/ ride prices are good the rides and games are mediocre at best. Apparently people have never been to other fair events in Colorado.I am not a big fan of the Greeley Stampede but it at least has more to do and see with better rides.

The livestock shows and sale this year at the Arapahoe County Fair this year was great. However, this years carnival was the worst one yet. The rides did not feel safe. There were less than ten rides. I can’t believe you have to pay $25 dollars to get in. The livestock part was very worth it but the carnival part this year was a let down. I hope that next years carnival is much better and much more fun.

Discounted tickets purchased in advance online is a great idea. But the hidden surprise of the convenience fee of $10 per purchase is infuriating. The $5 per ticket savings isn’t really a savings. Then if you purchase parking pass online you are charged another $1.50 convenience fee. I have never seen a convenience fee that high. A couple of bucks is fine but up to $11.50 fee is more than a price of an additional ticket. There are notices on the FAQ of a convenience fee but no info provided about how much. Ridiculous and highway robbery!

This was the site of the 2019 Arapahoe County Fair and what a fair it was! Well organized. Great fireworks on Friday Saturday nights. Good food too. Looked like everyone was having a great time!

The events center is very well put together with a good amount of space for large sporting events and great seating I felt more comfortable I the seating here than at the First Bank Center in Louisville.

Amazing fair put on by world class people. Only thing I would change would be to light walkway to the area they do the demolition derby at and bring another more professional carnival company in. Besides that we had a great time at a great price.

The temperature was over 90° farenheit. So hot and no shade. I ended up in the emergency room for dehydration. My dad is 87 and needed a wheelchair, they had none. We missed most of the fun because I spent a lot of the time inside the ambulance connected to the IV.

The county Fair was fun! The carnival and mutton bustin were up front, the 4H competition was inside the main events building, then there was a ton of stuff out back including food vendors, kids play areas with inflatables, the dog dock, petting zoo, and the main stage. Looking for a shady place to sit? Tables and chairs were set up along the back side of the events building.

I came to the fair about 2 years ago and it was an amazing experience, we had a blast with all the rides and games to play. I just went today and felt as if the quality has gone down. We were left with long lines, not as many rides, many of the rides weren’t even working!! If I could get my money back I would. Maybe the fair went under new management or something but I would go back to how it was before, honestly!

The Arapahoe county fair is a lot of fun. Safe, family friendly, fun rides and rodeo. The food and music are good as well.

Loved it, we had so much fun. All 3 kids did tractor pull, one did mutton bustin, rode some rides, kids made lots of crafts, collected all kinds of promo prizes, saw animals and exhibits. Best county fair Ive been to in 2 states!!

Beware! Uber does NOT know how to get here. Dozens of us stood out in the cold waiting, calling, texting, cancelling. I stood there for almost an hour! Either Uber or the Convention Center need to coordinate this address better.

Once a year Arapahoe celebrates its County Fair at this location and we attend the boots not suits function where tickets can be bought for great foods and beer in a specific location at the fair. Music and foods are also served outside at various vendors and several amusement rides are set up for the 4 day event with allot of family fun.

Review №28

Parking $5, $15 each to get in, includes rides. Food, drinks expensive. Good band. Got to see farm, ranch animals, kids various displays- cookies, cakes, other projects. Games, we paid cash to play. Petting zoo, many other activities for the little ones. Got into the rides without too much of a wait, we were there 11 - 4, the later it got the more people started to arrive. Parking was really far out there by 4 when we left. I had fun.

Review №29

Decent. I think its an okay place for a fair grounds but occasionally when fireworks are shot off at the fair, all the dry grass in this open space catches on fire. The large amount of space for attractions makes up for that. The picture is from the reptile show that took place there.

Fairgoers beware. The all inclusive Ride Pass is not all inclusive you must pay extra to ride four or five its a good rides. So when they sell you the overpriced ride pass at the gate be prepared to pay another 30 to $40 to ride the good rides. When did all inclusive Ride Pass become only some rides?

Open.. Clean.. Lots of parking.. Sure helped that announcements were placed somewhere near every entrance so you knew where to park for your wedding or quinceanera or whatever meeting you were there for. Got to park close to the correct entrance to my daughters wedding.

Great facility for Repticon. Ok bathrooms, could have been a little cleaner and had hot water, oh well! Overall decent parking and good facilities for expo style events. I also bought my first pastel ball python at the Denver Repticon that was held here. So... I guess it’s a great place to meet those you love!

Other than the racist that ran the Ferris wheel it wasnt bad. And also the Jesus saves dude was cramming his religion in my face saying I was a none believer that I am going to burn in hell even my 7 yr old child that was there at the time thought that the guy was rude and harassed us because we have different religion preference that was his choice. You fire both those guys and I would give it a 5 star.
