Gopher Gauge

Minnesota State Fair Gopher Gauge

Utilize the “Gopher Gauge” to help make an informed decision on attending the 2021 Minnesota State Fair. When the fairgrounds are busier, the gauge will show three gophers. When the fairgrounds are more open and less busy, the gauge will show one gopher, and when moderate, it will show two. The gauge will be updated regularly throughout the fair day. (Please note that our Gopher Gauge isn’t based on exact attendance numbers, but rather on what guests are experiencing at the time.)
