A great venue for many EDM events and great experiences buuuut..... the area this venue is located in is pretty sketchy.Parking at the venue itself is nearly impossible, so be prepared to pay for overpriced parking at nearby business lots (aka dont leave anything valuable in your car and make sure to lock up the windows and doors, just in case).As a female who often travels alone - in this area.... lol just dont. Try your best to go with a group of friends. If you cant go with others: make sure to have safe purses, a powerbank for your phone, take care of your commute plans, and have a place to stay in a decently good area.Edit: Okay, fine I give it 4 stars because Ive had some of the best experiences here. Stay safe everyone and have fun out there :)
The venue can be used so wonderfully. But the parking is just horrible. It needs to be revamped to the max. More security, fences, locations, etc. The center would attract more customers if there were safe and close parking spots to be found. However most of them are third party sold. I highly recommend coming but getting dropped off for the event youre coming to
The orange show is a great place for events for the family, but for concerts and such it should be very limited due to the criminal element that it encourages on those days from the people coming into San Bernardino during those type of events! The ravens are some of the most disgusting events ever; these events encourage all sorts of immoral activities and rampant drug use and the city government should reconsider their permitting for those type of events as well as limiting the noise level! Fines should be imposed when those type of events get out of hand; levied towards the performers as well as the events managers! This would help to defer the cost of extra law enforcement during these events as well!Other than these events the family events and community events are great! And i6l8i highly recommend those type of events; but Im very much against the raves and the other concerts because they attract the wrong people to come into the city that is just coming back from a lengthy time of bankruptcy!
Great festival location... long walks.. should invest in golf cart rides to cars... just saying... the grounds are well kept ..great job
It has been years since Ive been there. We couldnt get there until 9 pm due to traffic from where I was coming from. The lady at ticket booth was awsome and let us go in without pay. BTW free parking too. The night went longer than expected from all the unexpected crashes. Love the excitement. The power of the engines.
I absolutely love this venue it is spectacular amazing and brings something different every single time even though its the same location
Only one gate open to let everyone in and out. The line to get in stretched for nearly 1/2 a mile. We finally found a place to park off site and walked in. The News Boys were great. But Franklin Grahams preaching left me wanting something more. He didnt preach very long.
Escape was a good experience other then a few fights lol. The drinks are definitely overpriced but what kind you expect at these events. Shaq D was 🔥
Very few vendors. Roughly around 50. with some vendors lining the outside perimeter. The rest of the vendors were located inside the actual race field.Was expecting a lot more, however, its been a few years since we last visited this swap meet and its been moved to this new location.Free ParkingRestrooms availableNo food trucks or food vendors ( Bring your drinks and snacks )Friedly vendors and shoppers alike. Vendors are set up in rows, however you can easily cross between them. A little relaxed on covic rules.Overall this swap meet was buzzing with people and many were selling action figures, toys, dolls, collectables and loose miscellaneous items.Some were under tents and some were using long tables to display, others have you pick through open boxes and ask for price, or were being sold for a dollar!Fun place to visit and shop for collectables.
Really organized for Escape Halloween except parking. Event promoter stated free lots all around event, but all that we found were charging and no clear signage to official parking.
Ive been to many events at NOS over the years. In an area the holds thousands of people, it is not easy to communicate via cellphone once in the venue. That alone can put much stress and worries on attendees and family that are worried for our safety.Dear NOS:The current year is 2021. Why is your area without signal? Are you still waiting for AOL dial-up?We are on the horizon of having internet broadband in outer space yet you fail to serve the attendees of events at NOS.
I should have brought a wagon. Great deals, lots of vendors. So much stuff that you cant walk away empty handled.
New race director doing a good job. Giving local drivers a place to race. Fan and family friendly facility. Happy to have track open again.
The best events center grounds that I have been to.
This was the best place to enjoy and see how party goers enjoy some free time. Beyond wonderland was one of the most exciting and adventure i would recommend anyone to go.
Went for the Great Junk Hunt. The whole place needs a remodel. Very outdated. The Fairgrounds need to put more lighting around the complex and parking lots. It was very dark and not safe.
Old venue. It was quiet and calm. Very good. Outdoor seating.
Inland Empire quilt craft and sewing festival. Loved the Exhibitor Seminars where I learned new uses for what I have and new products I need.
The event space was massive, for what I actually expected. Came for Beyond Wonderland and it housed multiple large stages, tents, and just about everything else.. The turf covering such a large portion of the grounds was a nice touch. Will have to come back for HARD Summer and see what they pull off for that.
Frank Graham preached the Gospel to about 5000 people tonight. Worship music esa great.
Venue was clean but poorly lit. Security guards were asleep at alternate entrances which is disturbing at 11 am given issues at other events in the Southland.We did enjoy the event we drove over 100 miles to see but would have to have assurance in the future to return.
It was very hot and dark for the quilt show that I recently attended. $5 parking was wondereful..But it was so very hot.
Is a good effort but needs more sponsors. I manged to spend plenty of money anyway.
Yes it was a beautiful experience neen able to mingle with so many Godly Christian Brothers and Sisters of every coilors race because God loves every single one of us been gere with Franklym Graham son of Bully Graham what a blessing been able to be here today october 2nd 2021 God bless America
Great venue, clean and friendly staff! Well organized and love that they allow street vendors outside of the venue.
Fun bingo experience. There was also fair food (e.g. funnel cake). Clean bathrooms.
I had so much fun there won $500 its really nice and the staff is awesome especially Rose Dawson. And the bingo caller Tim he is a sweet heart
A Blessing and a Dream Come True,..God Answers Prayers 🙏
Went to the NOS Center for Dreamstate music festival that they hold there every year...and all I can say is wow, what a great space! Perfect for the type of festival I was at. Plenty of restrooms, space to walk around, food vendors were plentiful, staff and security were excellent, they were there when you needed them, and out of sight when you didnt. Great place to hold a festival. Slight hiccup with parking, one staff member didnt know what they were doing, and held up the line for 10 or 15min, but other than that, I had an awesome experience there!
Event center itself is pretty cool. Don’t expect cell service and plan ahead for a ride home from an event (you won’t get one from Uber/lyft). The event center is not set up to deal with large crowds at all, traffic is a joke, the people assisting with traffic and ubers/taxis don’t know what’s going on. and most the street around the event center are shut down. I will avoid events here in the future.
Great!, Fun!! They should do a lot more music festivals, it will help San Berdoo grow. There are lots of motels in town, and the Wigwams in Rialto for an extra special experience. Lets make San Bernardino relevant again.
Awesome place to have a party..Awesome concert placeThis place is legit..If only can get their act togheter for an event
I went there for last night of Franklin Graham Route 66 Tour. Amazing. News Boys.....
Good place to have some fun. The bleachers and roads are in need of some maintenance, otherwise its a decent place.
The event was awesome mainly because it was about our Father Jesus Christ.
The only time i ever come to this venue is for music festivals. They always welcome us here and the venue is big enough to host the massive crowds.
This place is huge allowing for lots of creativity for the event organizers, where they definitely took advantage of at Countdown 2019. Could seriously get lost and we did lose some friends for a while. The size makes everything better because theres more to do outside of headbanging. Couldve used more heaters maybe. Wind chill was crazy
Say 1 hard summer was great. Ride share is a problem! Almost 2 hours to go 3 miles
Once you get inside these shows are amazing, but being trapped in crowds with no clear directions from security guards, who are outnumbered by the dozens, there are some dangerous situations that can arise.
The Historical National Orange Show and Event Center is a great place to visit in the foothills city of San Bernardino.Family friendly,loads of parking and features hundreds if events throughout the year! Visit the Dan Bernardino national Forrest just minutes away or take a metrolink ride at the nearby Metrolink Station.
I love going I cant wait to go back ❤️ its my favorite place to be I would recommend to everyone I know n Ill be posting it on my FB too n my Instagram
Went to an event today. Parking was reasonable and fairly easy.
Beyond Wanderland, 27-28 Aug 21.It was coool🔥🔥🔥
I went there for a music festival called Beyond Wonderland and it was a really fun festival except for the traffic getting in and out was a nightmare and also being around so much concrete thats uneven isnt the best
Theres some kind of event tonight and they cant control the traffic situation! All I need to do is go to Target, but its impossible because roads are blocked and nobody can explain how to get anywhere!
Perfect for an Insomniac day to night festival but they should have placed sun shades for the guests and dancers in the scorching heat.
Love this place amazing raves all the damn time #hardsummer2021
Went to Beyond Wonderland here and the venue was nice and well organized.
Went to a Christian concert was nice everyone needs Jesus
First time at a gun show. Lots of products that I did not know existed.
Went here for Beyond! I was impressed with the free parking and shuttle service
Egress for Nocturnal events is still dismal.The events themselves are to die for.Leaving, is an absolute nightmare, leave early if you can.
Love this place, been going to the races France I was a kid
Was a good experience helping my friends with their business here. They have a photo booth; to take your selfie picture for coming back for the event on the next day.
Always a great time here for events!
Love the national orange show people are great always have lots of fun there
KIDS HAD A GREAT TIME @ THE WEST COAST BULLY SHOW... SO DID BECKY G
Every event here has always been a safe one
This place is no good I couldn’t find or get help to find the event music festival and I left my car unattended for less than 5 minutes and someone broke into it this is no good
Great! Always a fun time.
Great place for music festivals, area is a little sketchy but the venue and the festival are amazing!
I come here to leave it all out on the floor and I always go hard the first day. I love this place, the people, the vibe and all the events that are hosted here! But be ware of parking your cars on the streets. They break into cars. Aside from this, come here and continue to spread Plur Vibes 😃
The bingo every Wednesday and Thursdays is fun
Reasonable prices specifically for early great performances
Excellent flea market to spend some leisure time and find many curiosities
I do a lot of shows here, and remember going as a child! Its always amazing how we can transform it in to a new space with each show!
Went to see Excision for his Apex tour. Location was great. Security was quick and without issues. Would go to more shows out here.
We visited the Great Junk Hunt a couple weeks back. It was a nice facility, with quite a few vendors. There were a couple food trucks and a bunch of nice people. Parking was free but it was a pretty good hike from where we parked. There are some sketchy areas surrounding the venue, so take caution on you routing.
This was a nice venue, not to big, not over crowded, takes forever to exit the main lot! $20 for parking!
Love the rave!!! l worked the 🌟 ship at the rave and surprisingly as it was the people I was dealing with where very pleasant to deal with.
Great venue, high security, good times. Parking is a little rough. Can easily get lost if your not parked in the parking lot.
Back to short track Sat night racing. Racing was awesome!!!
Playing bingo my daughter Win 250 Great weekend
Nice big event center, did not look like the best part of town, but I felt safe & it was nicer inside.
Always a great time when they have raves here!
The mini stalk car race was awesome . Bring earplugs
Best Insomniac venue for shows. Greatness.
