Plan for a morning at minimum, though many visitors stay for the full day. Shows run back-to-back from around 11am, so arriving early and following the schedule is the best way to see everything without gaps.
Accessibility at Sioux City Park
Sioux City Park offers routes and access adapted for reduced mobility and pushchairs. If anyone in your group has reduced mobility, it’s worth telling staff in advance so they can reserve an adapted space in the indoor show halls and restaurant.

Some shows use blank-firing guns, which can produce loud, sudden noises; ear protectors are available on request for young children or anyone sensitive to sound.
