Is the fairgrounds accessible?

Yes. Accessible parking, ramps, and restrooms are available throughout the fairgrounds.

What's the best time to bring my family?

Weekday afternoons before 5:00 PM tend to be quieter and more comfortable for young children. Evenings and weekends are busiest, especially during the concerts and the Premium Auction.
