John Valdez: We went in mid september and it was amazing the rides were good and the food was great. the only problem was that tickets were pretty pricy

William Carrier: Good place to visit

Clayton Partin: A good time

Matthew Read: I love The Big E. I eat all day. I eat everything. It’s fun 🤩

Mike Milanczuk: Great show as always. Great vendors and staff is amazing

Jacqueline Dufresne: Too expensive to get in !! By the time you pay to park then pay for admission then to buy snacks. Wow L0

Ne Pats: The RV show was awesome !

Ron Chamberlin: Off season visit for a firearm and knife and memorabilia show.

Renirus: Same as it's always been my whole life 46 years For the most part fun but always way too expensive to enjoy thoroughly they have truly priced everything so high if you have a. Family dinner alone could cost you over $100 and that's for lunch even parking is nuts that's just too much and nobody goes because you can't afford anything when you get here

Tina Richburg: Loved the cramping show .

Peter Hill: I was there for the RV show. The biggest in New England. Most of the trailers I looked at online, but there was so much value in seeing them for real. The fairground was a great location with plenty of indoor space.

Bill Heywood: Went to the camping show

Cynthia Marinoff: Was there for camping Show. Helped out in the FCRV Camping Club booth. Met a lot of friendly people.

Edward Rodriguez: Solo el tiempoSi tienes tiempo te lo recomiendo

K Apl3ft: Parking is still confusing, especially for handicapped. Once you figure it out , it becomes a 'Doh' moment. A sign would be helpful.Quite a few couples campers this year for the RV show. Nice to see versus last year. It's still a tad confusing to maneuver about as everything is set up in pod clusters.Folks were pleasant and friendly as well as the crowd.

Aaron Davis: RV Camping Show

william smith: not the big e...but the camping show is just as busy

MonadKing: Went there for a car parts swap meet and would have given it 5 stars, but off season, we should not have to pay for parking. $5.00 a car is a rip-off. We had a handy cap placard, so we were directed to an area where not even spaces marked handy cap. After we walked to the door, there were so many spots in general parking near the door open because the place wasn't busy, and there were hardly any vendors to make it worthwhile to pay $13.00 to even get in. Never go again to that show. it's not worth it.

Jeri Benedict: We went to the train show, and picked up a few trinkets. Great time!

Blaine Holbrook: Huge and accommodating

Joe Allegrini: Very pleasant

Jane Myers: Great facility!

Mary Beth Shirzadi: Always courteous and friendly employees at this gate!

Mr. E.: This is the westernmost gate at the fairgrounds. Entry from here brings you to a vast world of excitement and not so cheap thrills. Look... I'm not saying that the place is expensive, but it certainly isn't for the budget conscious. The fact is that they don't care about you as people. All they see are walking dollar signs like you see in the cartoons. Only, unlike the animations that we grew up on, this is not amusing in any way. From the moment you arrive, you are bombarded with super expensive prices for even the basics. They charge for water!! Remember when you used to always be able to find public drinking fountains? Well good luck now. By taking them out, you are now forced to buy environmentally unfriendly single use plastic bottles who's contents are often pumped from communities who are given the screw when it comes to paying for the water. Just a couple of towns over from me, there's a bottling company who is paying less per gallon than the break even cost for the town to supply them. How is that fair? It isnt! It is much better to get a reusable bottle, and fill it up at home. The water will taste better, and the earth won't hate you as much.

SeeTurtle -: Came here for the Northeastern poultry congress

Janet Mcveigh: Right in for Christmas activities

mark tripp: Great family fun!

David Smith: Nice Place To Go .

Melissa Sivard: Great fun at the Big E. Gate 1 is a wonderful placevto sit & relax, plus perfect seats forbthe parade. I had a blast w/ my husband this year at the Big E. Can't wait for next year already. Hoping for some good concerts to go to. Last years were amazing.

Richard Tetreault: Good service

Austin Hernandez: If you’re going to the big E, don’t navigate here! Go park at the public parking area! You’ll lose a lot of time going here, I learned my lesson the hard way.

Karnagetic: Get there early!!! Have fun!!!!

Devon Lachance: Anyone who goes to the first or last gate, should be given a handicap sticker because you will literally have to wait inline for 2 hours when you could just walk 100ft to the next gate with no line.

kevin garcia: Good

Edward Surpris: Great time with the family. It was cold , but the spent was well worth it 👌.

Maiku Marianda: If you need to gain weight this is the place to go.

Michael and Steve: This was an amazing experience! So many businesses offering information on their services, foods etc.

Buck: Not overly fond of the Big E, however, every year we go for an hour or two too look around at the new changes.

Rebecca Lynn: Always fun each year so much to do

Colleen O'Connor: We got through quickly and easily

Scott Craig: Easy free parking...we paid $12 per person online for entrance.... fantastic crafts, furniture and art if you can afford it....nice food tent with live music but music didn't match age of crowd ..mostly older folks...good food selections....

Steve Pac: Paradise City art n craft fair is fantastic. Artisans are amazing. Not inexpensive but quality. Good food and musical entertainment.

Joe Yeskie: $15 tics way too much for what the fair had for fair goers....

Charles Lindsay: It's a nice small fair with farming in mind!

Beverly St. Amand: Workers were helpful directing us to where we wanted to go. The Demolition Derby was exciting but brutal.Food was good. Great atmosphere

Angelina Bragdon: It seems like this fair could do a lot more to make it better. I attended the fair this year on Friday. By the end of the night the trash cans were over flowing and trash was piling up on the ground. The Porta potty’s were disgusting. I know that is more in the people using them. However, they were out of toilet paper. Isn’t there people who can do the trash and check the toilet paper? I watch the demo that night. I could not understand a thing that was said because the speakers were so bad. They definitely need up grading. I find it strange that there was so much in used space on the fair grounds. Why aren’t there more vendors? Are they not interested? Is the vendor fee too much?I will say that I did have fun at the fair and so did my son. It just would have been a better experience if the fair grounds were cleaner and the sound system worked better.

Frank Perez: If your a teenager I am sure it would be amazing. Maybe I was expecting too much. Just don't like waiting in line for 60 mins for food. Way over priced for what is offered there.

Christopher Croteau: Great experience. Brought back the memories of my childhood going with my parents and now my daughter, son-in-law and grandson. Lots of food vendors, crafters, and farm related animals and activities. Inflation and " shrinkflation" were very evident. $15 entry for adults. Food prices were higher and portions were smaller. Thanks Walter!!I will go again as we do every year. It's nice to see families together. Nice to see all kinds of people from other places taking in the American pastime of County Fairs, Freedom, Fun, Laughter and just being together with loved ones creating memories.

Jay Bahre: Great place to go. Truck pulls were lots of fun.

Thomasine Montanez: Demo Derby was fun. Not enough participants!! Not much else to do there except carnival rides

Paul Nadeau: DEMO AND TRUCK PULLS ARE GRATE BUT NOT MUCH ELSE THERE

Genevieve Ledbetter: It is absurd and deeply disturbing to me that they allow people to fly white nationalist flags at this fair.

Lauren Leclair: Friendly parking attendant! He was awesome.

Barbara Roberts: Our family had so much fun at the fair on the rides and at the games. Very long lines especially at the food trucks, Local Burgy was so good! Had trouble buying tickets ahead on line though, that process could be improved. Overall a great experience.

Blanca Sandoval: It was good, but I didn't like there were not enough tables to sit down and shade. The food was not good, I bought a hamburger for my kid and it was with a bad smell 😔

Damian Cote: Always great. You can go on most rides 1 time for about $40. Best to bring cash as a lot of the things only take cash. Decent selection of unhealthy food.

Jeffrey Donlin: Was a great time !

Preston Sikoryak: It’s so beautiful and sweet

Erika Ramos: U LIAR I WENT WALKING FOR HOURS AND I NEVER GOT THERE

Evelyn Datil: Very nice place to visit and have fun.
