FAQ:

  • What counts as a 4 Person Carload? – 1 car with 4 passengers. You can purchase additional tickets to bring more people, but they must be arriving with you in the same vehicle.
  • What counts as a 2 Person Carload? – 1 car with 1 to 2 passengers. You can purchase a single additional ticket to bring a third person in your vehicle.
  • Is Sparkle! walking or driving? – Sparkle! is a walking event.
  • Can I add more passengers if my car has room? – Yes you can, you add them in the “Add-ons” section when you buy your tickets.
  • I bought 1 carload, but one of my passengers needs to come in a separate car, is that ok? – No, we are doing tickets by carload so everyone that buys a ticket has a place to park. If you have someone arriving separately, they need a separate car ticket.
  • When is the latest I can check in? – The last person will be accepted at 7:00 PM, and the property closes at 8 PM.
  • Can I bring my pet on the property or in the Mansion? – No, See the answer full answer here.
  • If I am not parking on the property is the event free? – No, the price to attend the event is the carload price. You need to buy the Sparkle! tickets to attend the event.
  • I bought tickets using the bottom left-hand button, is that the right kind? – No, that is for daytime general admission tickets only. Please contact us and we can give you a refund, no problem!
  • What happens if Sparkle! is canceled? – Everyone who has purchased tickets will be contacted via email, and everyone will be given the choice of moving to another available Sparkle! date or a refund. The website will also be updated with the change.
