It's a small fair but just the right amount of things to do see, eat, buy and try. The parking situation is a nightmare so be sure to look up the Option of riding the school bus shuttle over from local businesses usually Eversource headquarters is a main option. Expect to pay at least $15 per adult to enter. Tickets were $60/50 with rides being 3-4/ride some were 5 and games being so ridiculously priced I actually felt bad for the extremely bored carny workers. For example 3 darts for $10 cash only gets your a small item even if they hit all 3 not cool. The merchants on site are my favorite part and lots of local businesses with booths as well. All in all fairs have become so overpriced it is really disappointing to see. I will be looking for more affordable options for family fun. This felt very Nickle and dimed. They mug you every step of the way. Might as well just go to an amusement park for those prices.

This is the worst CT fair I’ve ever been to. Please, spare your time and fun to go to any other fair in CT.

We had to park far away at a big Eversource parking lot and walk 15 min across the whole lot to get to the “shuttle” line that would bring us to the fair. The line took about 25 minutes for us to get onto the “shuttle” which was just a school bus where we were crammed in to get to the fair. The shuttle was so pointless because it would’ve been faster for us to walk to the fair. It took us about 45 minutes to get from the parking lot to the fair. There was so much traffic from cars trying to go to the fair where there wasn’t any parking spots. School busses are also notorious for having bad airflow so it was like 20° hotter in the bus than outside - I was breathing in the breath of the guy in the way back of the bus with how humid it got in there, it was NASSSTYY!!!

Then we got to the fair and there were only 4 ticket booths to get into the fair!!! On god this place had the worst planning ever. The lines to get into the fair were insanely long, it took us about half an hour to get tickets to get into the fair. You can just buy tickets online apparently to save yourself that time.

Then we went in the fair and I’m so sorry but almost all the food vendors sucked. There was no unique fair food or cool food trucks. It was just regular stuff like hot dogs. Many food vendors were non-profit organizations who did not know how to make food. A huuugee disappointment.

Then to get back to the car we had to take the school bus again and so it took us another 30 minutes to get onto the bus and leave again.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!!! WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FAIR!!! GO TO ANY OTHER FAIR!!!

It was so much fun for our family! It was a little pricey but definitely worth it. The food was delicious and there were so many different varieties! I definitely recommend this for families with kids, my family had an amazing time. When we went in around 2 on a Saturday there was no wait for admission, it is free for kids 11 and under and 12+ is $14. When we left around seven there was an extremely long line. We recommend the Berlin Fair! 10/10!

Went to the fair for the demo derby. Not as busy as the Hebron Fair, but it seemed more toward the community. I recommend visiting.

Disorganized, and no shade. I know they do better during the actual fair that's why they get the 3, but the picklefest was a nightmare and would get them less than 1 star. A absolute disaster of an event.

Visited for the pickle festival, and everything was pretty pricey, even more so than I expected, but otherwise a decent experience.
