Stock up on memories by visiting the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) historic building at the Minnesota State Fair. We offer a wide range of family favorites in addition to new events and activities for fair visitors.

The fishpond is a must-see stop for folks of all ages and is one of the most popular attractions at the Fair. Explore the indoor exhibits, enjoy entertainment at the outdoor stages or take a relaxing stroll around the DNR park. Try out the ATV Simulator and experience what it is like to ride an ATV.
