**Parking at the Fair** 
Parking is straightforward—$15 per car or $30 for buses, payable on-site. Carpooling or using ride-sharing services is a smart option, especially when the weekend crowds arrive. You’ll find convenient drop-off zones at Gate 1 of the fairgrounds. If biking is more your style, there are racks near each entrance!

 Make sure to take advantage of ride specials available on Wednesdays and Thursdays! New for 2025 are exciting rides like Sling Shot, Raptor, and Joker 360. If you’re seeking thrills, these rides won’t disappoint! Families with younger kids will love the Kids’ Zone featuring age-appropriate rides and engaging interactive exhibits. Whether you’re in for an adrenaline rush or some wholesome family fun, the carnival rides at the OC Fair promise to create unforgettable memories.

**Kids & Family Events** 
Don’t forget to visit KidLand, where younger visitors can enjoy a mini carnival, crafts, and meet-and-greets! The educational excitement continues with Imaginology, returning April 12–13. During the Fair, check out Centennial Farm where kids can meet livestock and even plant seeds. Additionally, Heroes Hall is a must-see for history aficionados, showcasing rotating exhibits and veterans’ stories.

**Centennial Farm** 
The OC Fair is bursting with attractions for everyone! Centennial Farm is a three-acre working farm where you can learn about agricultural practices, see various livestock, and even experience the thrill of a pig race!
