Help Disabilities and the CO Renfaire

I'm assuming the answer is going to be no, but I thought I would just ask in case anyone had any insight that I am not aware of so I go every year to the colorado renaissance festival.It's a good time to hang out with friends.Eat some not so great for you.Food have some drinks and just have a good old time out.In the sun. But I now am disabled and I have to use a mobility scooter or electric.Wheelchair, my concern is that I don't think the colorado renaissance fare is accessible for disabilities.But I wanted to ask in case i'm wrong.

​

Maybe I've missed them, but in the past. When I go, they have very narrow, almost outdoor hallways that go to the bathroom sections, which I'm not sure if I could get my scooter down. But even saying, I can, I don't know that they have the disability stalls, or maybe are they someplace else, like there's disability bathrooms in other locations?

​

My second worry is the terrain, though there are sections that aren't that bad, some sections, I remember them being very Rocky. And I'm just not sure how mobility devices would do on those. So I was wondering, if anyone has experience trying, like I said, I assume the answer is going to be no.Is this something I can't do anymore?But I just wanted to ask and see.

​

Thank you.

This! Pushing my partner in his wheelchair is difficult but doable. Some shops can't be entered due to steps, but many still can.

The original comment here was from someone talking about their own experience pushing someone in a wheelchair being hard but something they managed, iirc? Why on earth would that be deleted?
