Good to know
How long is it?
About an hour. Doors open 20 minutes before each show. Follow the lights from the pasture entrance.
Is it a planetarium show?
It’s built like one: you recline under a dome and the whole sky is the screen. But it isn’t astronomy. It’s a light show set to late-’60s and ’70s psychedelic rock, with liquid light, generative visuals, live lasers through haze, and sound that moves around and over you.
Is it live? Is there a DJ or a band in the dome?
No DJ and no band in the dome, and we’d rather tell you now. The visuals on the dome and the vinyl soundtrack are recorded. The lasers, haze, ambisonic sound, scent, wind and bubbles are live in the room. Would You Kindly? plays the Jackass Saloon 7–10 PM, no cover.
Can I bring kids?
Yes. 6 PM is the family-friendly show. It uses theatrical haze and lasers.
I’m sensitive to light, haze or scent.
The show uses theatrical haze, lasers, scent and fast-moving psychedelic visuals. If you have photosensitive epilepsy, asthma or a fragrance sensitivity, check with your doctor before you come.
What should I wear?
Bring a layer: the walk from the parking area is outside.
