Golf Cars
After a great deal of consideration and research, the South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources decided not to have golf cars available to rent. Our current policy prohibiting personal golf cars will also remain in place. While we understand this may be an inconvenience, the welfare and safety of both people and livestock were heavily weighed. The South Dakota State Fair will continue to offer courtesy car rides, with additional courtesy cars added to the fleet, and trolley rides.
Personal golf cars are not allowed on the fairgrounds during the South Dakota State Fair.
