SPECIAL NEEDS
Welcome to the Great Minnesota Air Show. We want everyone to have a fun-filled time at the Air Show and have provided a number of services and considerations for our patrons with physical challenges.
PARKING
A parking area for people with physical challenges has been created next to the new STC Terminal, very close to the Spectator Viewing Area. Handicap license plate or tag holders will be allowed to park in this lot on a first-come basis. Plan to arrive early because there's a limited number of spots.
Please check back here for additional details on which route to take to enter the Air Show grounds.
Parking is free in the designated lot with air show ticket purchase and appropriate handicap license plate or tag signage.
PARKING MAP
AIR SHOW GROUNDS
Most of the show occurs in the air, so viewing is available throughout the show grounds. A large part of the spectator viewing area is on hard, flat surface. There's a small, limited area on the flightline reserved for wheelchair patrons and up two immediate family members, care givers or a combination of the two. There is an ADA portable restroom in that area. No chairs or other amenities are provided as this is a free area for our limited mobility patrons. This area will be next to the bleacher seating.
SERVICE ANIMALS
We welcome legally-allowed guide and assistance animals. But remember, if you're on the tarmac, temperatures can soar to over 120 degrees and at those temperatures, will quickly burn your service animal's feet. Plus, loud noises and explosions that go along with an air show can hurt their ears and frighten animals.
RESTROOMS
We have a number of ADA restrooms located throughout the show grounds. ADA restrooms are generally at the end of the regular restroom bank locations.
ELECTRIC MOBILITY
We welcome motorized scooters and wheelchairs for patrons with physical challenges. However, personal golf carts are NOT allowed. Please remember, crowds may be heavy and maneuvering may be difficult on the show grounds.
There will be no place at the show to plug in and "recharge" equipment.
SPECIFIC REQUESTS
