Frequently Asked Questions during Covid 19



Covid 19 - Updated: 23August2021

Due to an increase in Covid cases in the interior, as of August 23rd we will no longer offer tickets at the Box Office. All tickets must be purchased in advance, online or by phone with ticketseller. With online prepaid tickets you will not have to worry about being turned away on busy nights.

Your ticket will guarantee you entry, it will not, however, guarantee you a specific parking spot & yes you will be able to sit outside or in the back of your truck, Van, or SUV.

Our concession is open, however we still have Covid indoor capacity restrictions so only 1 person from your party will be permited in the concession. Please look at your printed menu and make your choices before going to the concession. Our staff will review your order, take your payment (Cash, Debit or Credit), and direct you to the pickup counter for your order. No loitering will be permited in the concession building and you will not be able to access the washrooms via the concession until further notice.

Masks are once again mandatory in our concession & washrooms!
