The OKC Fairgrounds offers both services and amenities to accommodate our guests with disabilities or who need a little more assistance or consideration during their visit. We want to hear from you!
To better understand the needs and desires of our fairgoing public, we invite you to participate in our accessibility survey at the link below. This survey is intended to gauge the needs and interests of respondents whether attending the Fair or not; however, if attending the Fair, please wait until after attending so that a response inclusive of that experience can be recorded. This survey will be open until October 11, 2024, so there is plenty of time to let us know your thoughts. Any information gathered will be kept private and used only by Oklahoma State Fair, Inc. and the Developmental Disabilities Council of Oklahoma (under the terms of its federal funding). Contact information or other data will not be shared for marketing or any other purposes. Thank you in advance for your participation in the survey.
Momentum Refresh Accessible Mobile Restroom
LOCATION: The Circle, in front of the Modern Living Building
Momentum Refresh is the first-ever universal design mobile restroom resource in the U.S., and it will make its Oklahoma debut at the 2024 Oklahoma State Fair. Located on The Circle, guests will find this revolutionary vehicle open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and manned by trained personnel who will assist guests in the use of the vehicle and clean between uses. The presence of this vehicle is sponsored by the Developmental Disabilities Council of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma State Fair.
“This project is provided and funded by the Developmental Disabilities Council of Oklahoma, supported by grant numbers 2301 OKSCDD and 2401 OKSCDD by the U.S. Administration for Community Living, Department of Health and Human Services, Washington D.C. 20201. Grantees undertaking projects with government sponsorship are encouraged to express freely their findings and conclusions. Points of view or opinion do not, therefore, necessarily represent official ACL policy.”
The Calming Space
Located in the Arts Annex and open during regular building hours, this room is available for guests to benefit from a break from the hustle and bustle of the Fair, such as those on the autism spectrum or who have sensory processing challenges.
Sensory-Friendly Time
The crowds and sights and sounds of the Oklahoma State Fair may be a bit overstimulating for some fairgoers. In recognition of that, the final Sunday, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., will feature some special activities for guests who may enjoy their visit in a little bit less noisy and a little less bright atmosphere. These activities, in addition to the Fair’s daily offerings that may be more quiet or less crowded at certain times, can be found in the guide below.
Locker, Wheelchair, Scooter and Stroller Rentals
Lockers, electric scooters, wheelchairs, strollers, and wagons are available for rent in three locations: In front of the Barns (facing the front of the Super Barn), just inside Gate 9, and on The Circle toward Gate 2. Rentals are available for walk-up customers and by advance reservation. Fairgoers can make reservations for scooters and wheelchairs online or by calling 262-677-2696.
