We've gone to Salt River Fields now twice. First time was for the an event about 2 years ago. Parking was a cluster-frack and you had to pay $5 to park on a dirt lot. The second time was just this Saturday for the Balloon Spooktacular. Parking was free but was still a cluster-frack trying to get out of the lot to leave. They had all traffic leaving from a one lane one entrance/exit point. Terrible.
The event itself was good. Had a living social deal so J and I only paid $10 to get in, with C being free.
Though most of the vendors and balloons passing out candy were cheap with their candy. Got packages of Smarties from 97% of the vendors/balloons. 2% were passing out 99cent store candy or mexican candy. And from 1% vendors/balloons, we got a mini hershey bar and a mini bag of reeces peanut butter cups.
If we do decide to go back for another event, I'm going to find other means for parking. That or jump the curb to get to the little side road to the north of the fields.
