Santa Clara County Fairgrounds - Gate D — Attraction in San Jose

Cirque du Soleil was amazing. It's a well run show. Everything is clean and clearly marked. The seats, while not plush, are comfortable and I don't think there is a bad view in the house. I was skeptical going to a show in a tent in March but it was extremely comfortable. There is a souvenir shop at each end of the thru rent. Prices start at $6.00 and go to $450.00. The sales people are friendly and helpful. The concession is spacious and clean with plenty of counters and servers. The best deals are the combo packs. If you choose water as your drink you get a stainless steel souvenir water bottle that is very nice. There are free water refill stations all around the perimeter of the thru tent. Although $8.00 for cotton candy is excessive these are the process you pay at a show. Alcoholic beverages start at $12.00, soda is $4.00. they have nachos, pretzels, and hot dogs as well. There is a 25 minutes intermission. Plenty of time for a bathroom break and concessions. The bathrooms are flushable porta potties and there are sinks. There are lots of them and even several handicap/ family restrooms. They have live singers and musicians. The acrobats are unbelievable. Fantastic family...

This event exceeded my expectations in every level. The high ticket price is justified for a show of such high caliber, 1st class all the way. My only complaint is $20 for parking is excessive. Otherwise Cirque Du Soleil is an...

Depending on the event your going, the issue we had was parking. Went to a Dwali festival and instead of using all the gates they have available at 9:00 p.m. on a Saturday night they closed all of them and only flowed all traffic through one gate, several hundreads of cars trying to get out through one gate created such a large bottle neck that it took 45 min to exit the parking lot area. Had they used the space much more effectively all of that could have been avoided. Also trying to find someone to contact or anyone that worked there, impossible. Seems like it could be a...
