Each year, the Minnesota State Fair strives to add to our accessibility and guest services to improve the fair experience for all.

  • Aira – Live human-to-human professional visual assistance service for guests who are blind or have low vision, provided free throughout the fairgrounds. It is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
  • Audio Description Additions – New this year are audio descriptions of select works from our popular crop art exhibit. Scan QR codes on-site to access descriptions of this uniquely Minnesotan art form!
  • Joy Mobile – A one-stop sensory-friendly experience designed to help guests reset and re-engage. Developed in partnership with designers and those with lived experience raising and teaching the neurodiverse community, the Joy Mobile is a quiet space with calming activities amid the fair's stimulating hustle and bustle.
  • KaiBi Mobile Family Care Center – An inviting space for families to care for their little ones. This climate-controlled mobile facility allows all caregivers privacy and comfort to feed, change diapers and pump.
  • Adult-Size Changing Table – An additional height-adjustable table provided for people of all ages to refresh in a private environment - located in Care & Assistance.

Joy Mobile, KaiBi Family Care Center – Daily, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (8 p.m. Labor Day); Care & Assistance – Daily, 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. (8 p.m. Labor Day)
