What do I need to do?

- Buy your Annual Ticket
- Book your Admission Timeslot(s)
- Add on an optional Dome Show

Do I have to book online?
No, but it helps to guarantee your entry time and avoid queues on the day. If you do not book in advance online, you will be able to buy a Day Ticket in person. This won’t give you 12 months access however.
