Tips & Advice
- Arrive at least 30 minutes before your reservation time to allow for check-in and queuing, especially on busy nights.
- Consider purchasing tickets for early season dates or Sunday evenings to minimize wait times, as October Fridays and Saturdays are extremely busy.
- Wear closed-toe shoes like sneakers or boots, as flip-flops, high heels, and sandals are not permitted due to the uneven and potentially damp terrain.
- Be prepared for an outdoor, physically demanding environment with uneven surfaces, low visibility, strobe lights, and fog effects; dress appropriately for the weather.
- If you require specific accessibility accommodations, call in advance to discuss your needs and ensure a smoother experience.
