Tickets & Entry
How do tickets work?
Tickets are purchased online in advance. Choose your day (Thursday–Sunday) and a 2-hour shopping window. There’s a 15-minute reset between windows. Your ticket will show your time slot and entrance door (gate).
Please bring your QR e-ticket on your phone (or printed, if you prefer).
What’s the price?
General Admission: $12
Children under 12: $1
Do children need tickets?
Yes—every child needs a ticket. This ensures we count every guest for capacity and safety.
Do I need to print my tickets?
No. Digital tickets are perfect—just have your QR code ready on your phone. Printing is optional.
What if I miss my slot?
You can enter any time during your chosen 2-hour window. Once the window has ended, the ticket is no longer valid.
Can I stay longer than my entry window?
Each ticket is valid only for the 2-hour window you selected. You’re welcome to arrive any time within that window, but you’ll need to exit when it ends—even if you arrived late.
Can I leave and re-enter?
Yes. You may step out and re-enter during your 2-hour window by showing your ticket at the same door.
Can I get a refund or change my ticket?
We understand plans change.
- Refunds/changes: Please contact us by email or phone at least 24 hours before your time slot.
- To change time slots, cancel your existing ticket and repurchase for your preferred time.
Can I transfer my ticket to someone else?
If you can’t attend, please cancel at least 24 hours before your window so someone else can book the spot.
