Dakota County Fair Hot Tub & Swim Spa Booth

August 10–16, 2026 · Dakota County Fairgrounds, 4008 220th St W, Farmington, MN 55024

MinnSpas has had a booth at the Dakota County Fair every year since 2024 — and it’s our hometown fair as a business. The fairgrounds in Farmington are just minutes from our Apple Valley showroom, which means everything you see at the booth is backed by a local shop you can visit any week of the year.

What You’ll See at Our Booth

Shopping for a spa at the fair beats shopping online for one simple reason: you can sit in the seats. Feel the layout, check the jets, and picture it in your backyard. Here’s what we bring to Farmington:

Swim spas — from compact exercise models to dual-temp units, see the real footprint and seating in person. Wondering what they run? Our swim spa cost guide breaks down real pricing.
Aquatic Spas — hot tubs built for Minnesota winters, with Balboa controls and premium acrylic shells.
Softub PoseidonX — lightweight, portable, and runs on a standard 120V outlet. A favorite for decks and patios.

We’ll also have Custom Spa Setup Plans ready — walk away knowing exactly what fits your home, your backyard, and your budget, including delivery, electrical, and placement.

Fair-Time Pricing

Searching for a hot tub sale at the fairgrounds or a hot tub show near you? This is that event — real spas you can sit in, at our best pricing of the season. Current fair specials are posted on the Hot Tub Sale page. Fair week is the best time of year to buy, and if you miss us at the fairgrounds, the same offers apply at the showroom — 14608 Felton Ct, Suite 109, Apple Valley — or contact us and we’ll hold your spot.

Dakota County Fair – Frequently Asked Questions

The 2026 Dakota County Fair runs August 10–16 at the Dakota County Fairgrounds, 4008 220th St W, Farmington, MN 55024. The MinnSpas booth is there for the full week — we’ve set up every year since 2024. For gate hours, parking, grandstand events, and the daily schedule, check the fair’s Facebook page, which the fair updates throughout the week.

Yes — our booth is inside the fairgrounds, so regular Dakota County Fair admission applies. Once you’re in, though, spa shopping at the booth is the easy kind: sit in the seats, compare layouts side by side, ask the service questions a brochure can’t answer, and take a free Custom Spa Setup Plan home. And because our showroom is only 15 minutes away in Apple Valley, anything you see at the fair you can revisit any week of the year. See current fair specials →

Yes. Lock in fair pricing at the booth and we’ll schedule delivery afterward. Between the fair and delivery day we work through your setup plan — access path, pad or deck prep, electrical, and startup water care — so there are no surprises when the truck arrives. We deliver throughout Dakota County and well beyond, with extended delivery available for outlying areas. Ask about your area →

Take the Custom Spa Setup Plan home — it’s free, and it turns “someday” into an actual plan with a real budget. When you’re ready, the showroom is 15 minutes up the road in Apple Valley, or you can browse the current sale and financing options from your couch. Fair pricing is the best of the season, but a spa you buy with a plan beats a spa you buy on impulse every time.

Usually not — our refurbished spas are mechanically rebuilt before resale and most sell from the showroom before they’re ever listed online. But ask at the booth: we can tell you exactly what’s in the shop that week and what’s coming, and you can join the priority list to get first call when a spa in your size range comes through.

Yes — this is the heart of our service area. We service all brands with a diagnostic-first approach and same-day repairs when parts are in stock, carry parts at the Apple Valley showroom, offer free professional water testing with no appointment needed, and we’re Minnesota’s authorized Softub service center. For electrical hookups we recommend Kendrick Electric — our next-door neighbors on Felton Court — and for moves, Mighty Hot Tub Movers. Learn more about MinnSpas service →
