New foods and longtime tasty favorites are part of the Minnesota State Fair, so Access Press works with fair staff each year on an accessible dining guide. 

What makes a venue accessible? 

The listed food and beverage concessions offer seating areas accessible by curb cuts; hard and sturdy floor surfaces; tables a guest can pull up to in a wheelchair or scooter, or where a chair can be moved to make room for a wheelchair or scooter. 

Scooter users should consider if a venue has limited space and ask what options are best. 

Don’t forget to bring a supply of hand sanitizer and wet wipes. Those can come in handy to keep hands and faces clean. 

One good way to deal with food and beverage spills is to have little clothing treatment items, such as Shout Wipes or a Tide pen, to treat any food spills and stains on clothing.

Venues offering a new food item have an asterisk after the address.
