Kentucky State Fair Accessibility: Electric/Power Chair Rentals

No Published Rental Program

The Kentucky State Fair (Louisville, late August) does not publicly advertise electric scooter or power wheelchair rentals on its official website or accessibility guide.

Recommended Steps

1. Contact Fair Management Directly: Kentucky Exposition Center, (502) 367-5200, info@kystatefair.org. Ask about:
• On-site mobility rental vendor (some fairs contract with Scootaround, Cloud of Goods, etc.).
• Reservation process, cost, delivery to gate.
• Availability of manual wheelchairs (often free, first-come).
2. Bring Your Own: Most reliable. Fairgrounds are large (1.2M sq ft); personal scooter ensures fit and availability.
3. Local Rental Companies: Louisville-area medical supply firms (e.g., Lincare, National Seating) rent scooters/power chairs weekly.

Other Accessibility Features

• Accessible parking (permit required).
• Wheelchair-accessible shuttles/trams.
• Accessible restrooms, companion care restrooms.
• ASL interpreters for select shows (request 2 weeks ahead).

Plan Ahead

Contact the fair 4–6 weeks before dates to confirm rental options and reserve if available.
