Tips & Advice

  • Book tickets online in advance, as tickets are not sold at the gate or over the phone.
  • Bring a debit or credit card, as the entire site operates as card-only and does not accept cash.
  • Wear sturdy walking shoes and warm layers, as buildings have no heating and the ground can be uneven.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Standard tickets require visitors to arrive during their assigned Intake Period; Fast Track ticket holders can arrive any time from 6:30pm to last admission at 9:00pm.
