Ohio State Fairgrounds Insider Tips
- The regular cost of parking at the Ohio Expo Center, where the state fair is held, is $5. This price can change for special events and may do so for the State Fair.
- As is typical at this kind of events the food can be a little on the expensive side so think about filling up before you come. Whatever you do make sure you withdraw cash from an outside ATM before you go; the ATM's inside the fair really pile on the charges!
