The Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds is a great place for families and a very safe and fun atmosphere. It is a great place to have fun when the fair is in town, with thrilling rides, adorable local animals, and jaw-dropping performances. The event showcases the heart and soul of the community. Kids win prizes and the food choices are an experience. There are also games and activities like the Alaskan pig races. The location is used for other events like camp meetings, providing a nice atmosphere. However, traffic during the fair can be very bad, with long waits and poor planning for extra cars. Handicap parking is noted as accommodating.
