The ADA Accessibility Lounge is a quiet, low-sensory area with comfortable seating for fairgoers with disabilities. Our trained ADA Concierge volunteers can assist with reserving and loaning out noise-canceling ear protection and fidgets. Located in the Friend of the Marin Center Room in the Exhibit Hall.
The ADA drop-off zone is in the Veterans’ Memorial Auditorium parking lot near the Fair’s front gate. People dropping off visitors with disabilities should drive down the Avenue of the Flags. The parking lot attendant will escort the vehicle to the ADA drop-off and then guide it out of the parking lot so that the driver may find parking elsewhere.
The Baby Sanctuary is a cool, private place to care for your little one, offering comfortable chairs for breastfeeding, a changing area with diapers and wipes, and water and healthy snacks for moms. Located in the Laurel Room in the Exhibit Hall this year.
