Service Animal Policy
The Saratoga County Fairgrounds and Expo Center follows ADA guidelines regarding service animals. A service animal is one that is trained to perform tasks for individuals with disabilities.
Service animals must remain on a leash or in a harness and under the control of the owner at all times.
Due to the nature of some attractions at the Fair / Event, service animals are not permitted on rides or attractions, and may be restricted in certain areas due to safety concerns.
ADA regulations state that the specific work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to a person’s disability. Dogs and other animals whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals according to the ADA. Therefore, emotional support animals are not permitted in the Saratoga County Fairgrounds & Expo Center. This may waived on an event based case by case basis.
