The Topeka Home Show fills that floor end to end, and the booths you actually came to see always seem to be the ones farthest from the door. For someone watching their stamina, a show floor that big is where the day gets cut short — half the aisles seen, the rest written off. A charged scooter waiting at your Topeka hotel changes that math: you cover the whole floor at your own pace and still have something left for dinner afterward.
How Delivery Works for Stormont Vail Events Center Events
Standard hotel-delivery workflow. The scooter is delivered to your Topeka hotel before your check-in, tagged with your name, and held by the bell stand or front desk. From the hotel, take the scooter to the events center via personal vehicle or rideshare. Accessible parking is adjacent to the venue.
We do not deliver directly to the events center — game-day, show-day, and conference-day venues are not set up for individual handoffs.
Accessibility at Stormont Vail Events Center
The venue (formerly Kansas Expocentre) has been operating as Topeka’s primary multi-day events space since the early 1990s, with steady accessibility upgrades:
- Accessible main entries with automatic doors and level approach.
- Accessible parking adjacent to the building, allocated to state-issued accessibility permits.
- Accessible-seating sections in the main arena with companion seats and adjacent space for personal mobility devices. Request when buying tickets through the box office.
- Concourse circulation is wide enough for scooter movement.
- Accessible restrooms on all major levels.
- Trade-show floor is flat with wide aisles — scooters maneuver well across most show-floor configurations.
Confirm specific accommodations with the events center’s guest-services team for any event with non-standard seating or floor layout.
Topeka hotel pairing
Topeka hotels close to the events center include downtown options near the Capitol and west-side hotels along Wanamaker Road. The drive from any Topeka hotel to the events center is typically under 15 minutes. Confirm your hotel at booking — we’ll deliver the scooter ahead of check-in regardless of which Topeka property you choose.
For visitors based in Kansas City driving in for a Topeka event, the I-70 drive to the events center is approximately 75 minutes from downtown KC.
Common rental scenarios
- Topeka Home Show — multi-day expo with a large show floor; full-weekend rental is standard.

- Concerts — accessible seating in the bowl with the scooter parked beside.
- Washburn graduations — when held at Stormont Vail Events Center, family parties seated in accessible-seating sections see the procession and main ceremony with the scooter beside them.
- Trade shows / corporate events — multi-day rentals covering pre-conference setup days through the event itself.
