Oakland County Fair

Nice fair. Rides were in good shape with very kind attendants. Everyone was polite and courteous. Food was ok. Livestock barns were typical of what you would find at any fair.
The only thing that really bothers a lot of people that I talk too about this particular fair is the circus. Animal entertainment is a thing of the past. Use human acts and leave the animals where they belong.

Overall it was a fun day to spend it at the fair. Lot of things to do for kids, for all ages. The parking was easy and not expensive (10 $). Circus, animals, lot of food choices. Very organized. 4 tickets for 5 $, each ride needs about 2 – 4 tickets. The only thing that has to improve is the restrooms, it was very very dirty.

A good way to spend the day with the kids.
PROS:
1. Entry fee is more than reasonable. $ 10 per vehicle covers all occupants in your car, so you know, load up that car!
2. Parking is super easy. Anything that doesn’t require 30 minutes to find a spot and 15 minutes to park your car automatically earns a good rating from me
3. The rides are clean, well-​maintained, and a good mix although not many for little kids
4. The fairgrounds are clean, well-​maintained, and the Ellis Barn is simply neat-​o
5. Lots of pony ride vendors. If you’ve every taken a small child to a fair and had to wait in a long miserable line for a pony ride then you understand how wonderful it is when there are like 3 pony ride vendors ensuring you won’t have to stand in line with a whiny child for very long
6. The petting zoo is very clean and has an interesting mix of animals.
7. It has a circus. A small one but a circus.
8. The list of grand stand events is impressive. Something interesting going on every night
CONS:
1. The food was so-​so. I’ve definitely had better but I’ve had worse.
2. The bathrooms could have been cleaner. Seriously, it wasn’t that busy and there was no attendant monitoring them. And yes, I’ve been to fairs where there is someone monitoring the bathrooms to ensure they are clean and well stocked.
3. Livestock barns were dissappointing.
4. Adult 4H not impressive. I’ve been to fairs where they have a large display of adult amateur photography and art work. This display was very small.
Overall, if you have kids and need an inexpensive way to entertain them for the day I would recommend this fair. If nothing else, the drive through the charming little town of Davisburg is worth it!

Great place to spend the day with the family. Midway, animals, circus, food, and fun. Easy parking. Just a great time for everybody. Great way to spend a day.

Grandma skis food trailer is the best thing there as far as food. Rides look well maintained and staff was petty friendly. Except for the women in the ticket booth, they were rude and kinda bitchey. Drinks were reasonable and plenty of DOLLAR deals. Parking was ten bucks!!! Walk in $ 5. UGH live stock a plenty. Byob
