We went on Wednesday and surprised our granddaughters! It was really big! Supernice! And yes, super expensive! There were 5 of us, and we had to pay 44.00 just to gain entrance into the park! I thought that was extremely high! Then we paid 90.00 for our 3 grandchildren to recieve wristlets.I also understand that the fair only comes once a year, but I cant imagine the people that arrived and were not prepared to pay just the entree fee, let alone the extreme high prices. The children enjoyed their time there because kids are oblivious to the costs. It is for this reason I gave the fair 4 stars.

I went here for the Jack O Lanterns Unleashed. It was a nice walk and the art was cool. Some things for kids to do. There was a food truck and a drink stand along the path. There were real bathrooms. Not much else though. Seemed a bit pricey for what it was but I had a good time. It was a family friendly atmosphere.

This is about Jack O’ Lanterns Unleashed. Last year was the first time we went. I noticed many of the pumpkins were not real, but still had a good time. This year, we decided to go again. I thought the displays would be different but they are about 90 percent the same. But, they also didn’t have a lot of entertainment like last year, just one group of dancers. Last year, they also had superheroes, princesses and sci-fi characters like Darth Vader standing by pumpkins with similar artwork, but also interacting with kids for photos, etc. One kid almost lost her composure talking to Elsa. It was so cute. None of this was there this year. The blow up display that played music by the gate wasn’t there either. At $18 a head, I assumed the pumpkins would change or even there would be real carved ones? I watch Outrageous Pumpkins and there has to be artists in the area that would make new sculptures. The Wizard of Oz display I do believe was new. So was the volcano. I probably won’t be coming back next year. I would like to look at pumpkins without a seam and flecks of foam falling off. Why not have a competition with artists making new designs each year with real pumpkins? Like another review said, you could have kids carve real pumpkins, have both human and pet costume contests, other game contests, people dressed up like the themes to be in the field or the tents. I did like the guy inside the drink tent carving pumpkins with potatoes and carrots added. The tent offers a lot of cool photo backdrops. There are opportunities to buy beer or the trail and there are real bathrooms. The midway offers rides that are small but fine and some food trucks.

It's fair week. Lots of people and livestock is all on display.

We went for Jack O' lanterns Unleashed; it was great, very cool! Lots of very cool artwork on the pumpkins. Highly recommend for the entire family.

The Ingham County Fair gets better every year. 45 years ago our kids started 4H, and the first week in August was everything fair. Today we took our two grandsons, 6 and 4. We all had a fantastic time. Thank you to the many people who make the fair possible

My experience was at the rabbit exhibition. I asked if my grandson could pet the rabbit and the worker said no he doesn’t like to be petted. I’m an African American female. But when a white Caucasian family came up to the table she le there daughter pet the rabbit. I waited to ask her why my grandson could not pet the rabbit. She was caught off guard and the family of the little girl apologized to me for having to be treated that way. I told them thank you and left the fair in Mason.

I won't be going back at all Skerbecks are the dumbest Carnival ever. I hope employees get fired .if I was On the fair board I would Tell them to be nice to the guest
