I enjoy a good number of events at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center (KY State Fair, Concerts, Flea Market, etc.), but the price to park is ridiculous! It is now up to $8.00 and sure to be $10.00 before you know it. I personally don't think it should be above $4-$5, but who am I? They didn't ask me.... More

My husband and I went to the 2012 Truckers show for 2 days. They have all differents kinds of events there and it is easy entrance and exiting and close to 2 different freeways.

A typical fairgrounds or huge swap meet location. It is convenient place but they gouge you for parking $8.00 or $10.00 a car. OUCH!

Nice place, ample parking, many entrances, easily accessible, clean and current. Impressive. Soooo close to the airport (right across the highway), but you still need to take a cab or shuttle of some sort.

Nothing remarkable. The amusement park is not very well maintained and the state fair is just about average.

If you are close to the Louisville area at State Fair time be sure and drop b y the state fairgrounds and attend one of the nicest fairs in the country. You will not be disappointed. Maybe being from Kentucky I am a little one sided on this.

Large place for a dog show. They have raised the price to park to $8.00 per car and the dog show was another price not sure but at least 8.00. Too much! Food outside was good.

The largest militaria antique show in the USA...the SHOW OF SHOWS" is always held here this time of the year. The Expo Center is a great place to host this show with spacious halls, clean facilities, lots of parking, and professional and friendly security. Two thumbs up!!
