Bare bones, without AC, metal building in June in Texas. Not my first choice but you take what you can get sometimes. I appreciated the space being available for PRIDE.

Totally love the fact that this location allowed for the pride event to be held there. But they really need to work on getting some AC in the place.

Always fun to go through various events at this location. The vendors are friendly & offer a variety of items for purchase. I love the annual Youth Takeover Holiday Bazar as well as their Christmas Tea Party! This is also a great location/facility to host a graduation, birthday, etc. There is plenty of parking space!

They said free shots for dogs & cats. Waited in my vehicle about 1.5 hours in 105+ degree temperatures. The shots were Parvo, Corona & distemper shots which all couldve been purchased at tractor supply & given to my dogs myself. If Rabies shots werent included they need to make that clear.

I visited this place for the first time during the Festival de la Lechonera on April 2023. It has a big building, perfect to hold a good number of people inside. There are plenty of parking spaces and areas for food trucks around the building. This place could benefit from having a designated area where concession stands, and food trucks have all the facilities they need to give a better service. It also needs more mobile ATMs as some of the vendors only accept cash. This place has lots of potential and I hope to keep visiting on special events.

The games were $10 to play such as throwing darts, water race game, etc. I was shocked of the cost which is why people were not playing. Also, some of the food workers were rude and had difficulty understanding and speaking English. This explains why some food trailers had 0 customers. Shame on you!! Horrible service in our city of Killeen. We are kind and pleasant here. Make the games that kids love to play to win a prize more reasonable like $5.00 and you will get more participation. $8 for a small order of fries. Wow!!

Needs to modernize and accept cards or add more mobile ATMs during big events. Could also use more concession stand support. The line to get cash going in was wild, and the concession stand lines were no better. Besides that, the facility is excellent. I really enjoyed the rodeo.

I didnt like the fact that we stood in line 40 minutes to get to the gate to then find out that it was cash only. They had a separate line for the ATM machine so that took another 25 minutes.

A great venue for hosting large events. Specifically the annual preparation of the wreaths to support wreaths for Vets. This annual event prepares thousands of wreaths by an all volunteer force to lay the Saturday after Thanksgiving at the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery. They ensure every wreath is given a new bow and will be placed upon every headstone in the cemetery throughout the holiday season. An amazing event and wonderful seeing the community come together in support.

This was the cleanest carnival I ve ever attended. The prices were fair. $30 for a bracelet that allowed my daughter to ride all the rides she wanted to during our visit. My daughter had a blast. The food trucks were incredibly immaculate. There were hand washing facilities, clean bathrooms. Hand sanitizer everywhere. All staff were in masks and cleaning the rides after each person used it. Fun time pre-Halloween. Lots of lights, music and some kids and parents were dressed up in costumes. I d recommend this venue to other families. We went early in the evening, at about 4:15, and all the rides were available. Even as it got busier, there was no wait, which was great!
