Stormont Vail Events Center Mobility Scooter Rental & Accessibility Guide
1 Expocentre Dr, Topeka, KS 66612
Topeka's primary multi-day events venue — formerly the Kansas Expocentre, now operating as Stormont Vail Events Center after a naming-rights renewal. Hosts trade shows, rodeos, concerts, the annual Topeka Home Show, and Washburn University graduations.
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

Where do mobility scooter deliveries go for Stormont Vail Events Center events?

Is Stormont Vail Events Center accessible?
+
Yes. The events center has accessible main entries, accessible parking adjacent to the building, accessible-seating sections in the main arena, accessible restrooms, and concourse-level accessibility throughout. For specific accessible-seating requests, contact the box office directly at the time of ticket purchase.

Best Topeka hotel for an events center weekend?
+
Topeka's downtown and west-side hotels both work well — most are within 5-10 minutes of the events center by rideshare. Confirm your specific hotel at booking and we'll route delivery accordingly.
Is the Topeka Home Show a strong rental use case?
+
Yes. The Topeka Home Show typically runs across multiple days and the show floor is large — many visitors with stamina or mobility limits skip the event entirely without a scooter. A multi-day rental covers the full Home Show weekend with margin for evening sightseeing or restaurant trips.
