How do the time blocks work?

Guests will be grouped in tours of 25 in the order of arrival within each time block. Tours depart continuously throughout the event (e.g. guests selecting the 6:00 pm tour will depart on their tour in order of arrival/check-in between 6:00 and 6:30).

Can I stay past my time block?

Yes! Guests are encouraged to stick around after they walk through the house to enjoy the festive environment.
