Are there any exceptions for medically necessary items or diaper bags?
Exceptions are typically granted for medically necessary items or diaper bags after proper inspection.

Where can I drop someone off and leave?
We recommend you drop pedestrians off at the North Gate, 1200 Rosewood Drive, across from Seawell’s.

Buses - Senior Groups
We can’t wait to see our senior friends at the South Carolina State Fair! For an easy drop off, buses can stop at the North Gate on Rosewood Drive just past Gate 1 (close to the rocket). Although buses aren’t permitted to park in this area, drivers can pull up to the gate for an easy dismount for our senior friends.
