Service Animals

Service dogs are allowed on the fairgrounds. Service dogs are dogs individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals.

Note: During the Minnesota State Fair, pets are not allowed on the fairgrounds, except for animals approved as part of an exhibition.
