To ensure the best possible guest experience, hourly capacities are limited. We strongly recommend purchasing your tickets or making your reservations in advance to ensure you get to visit on your preferred date and entry time. Popular days and times do sell out. If you wait to purchase tickets at walk-up, you may need to wait hours for the next available entry time or find there is no remaining ticket availability.
With Plan-Ahead Pricing, the further in advance you purchase your tickets, the more you save. Get tickets HERE.
Annual Passholders or Members and undated ticket holders can make reservations HERE.

Since the onset of the pandemic, we have closely monitored and assessed virus rates, public health recommendations, regulatory requirements, and agency guidance to inform and implement our safety protocols. Given the latest information we have and the recent decline in infection rates and hospitalizations, the determination has been made to adjust our COVID-19 requirements. At this time, masking is optional for employees and guests, regardless of vaccination status.
The safety and wellbeing of our hosts and guests remains our top priority and we will continue to monitor the situation closely. Please note that changes may occur at any time, based on available public health information.
