''This varies depending on the event being held. The San Diego County Fair is an open-air festival with no formal seating for the fair itself. Many events are held in the Del Mar Arena, which has both grandstand and floor seating with a total capacity of 8,543.'
'The Green Line, Orange and Blue Line trolleys and the city buses operated by the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System run to the Santa Fe Depot downtown where fairgoers can board the Coaster. The Coaster runs to the Solana Beach station, which is closest to the Fairgrounds.'
'While there is no street parking available, the Del Mar Fairgrounds venue has plenty of paid parking onsite. There are two levels of parking, general and preferred. Additionally, there are a number of offsite parking options available depending on the event. Free shuttles run between the offsite parking areas and fairgrounds. All parking areas, both onsite and offsite, have parking for disabled guests.'
'The grounds themselves are wheelchair friendly. There are a large number of events held at the Fairgrounds each year, and each of those events has differing levels of accessibility. The level of accessibility depends on the location and physical nature of the individual event.'
'The Del Mar Fairgrounds hosts many different events. Children are welcome at the San Diego County Fair itself. The Del Mar racetrack allows children during their various events, but they are not allowed in the satellite wagering facility. Other events will have their own policies on what ages of children may attend.'
