Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 45–60 minutes before showtime to allow time for parking, ticket pickup, and getting to your seat without rushing. Lines can form close to curtain time, so arriving early helps you settle in and explore the space.

With minimal walking required and accessible paths throughout, getting around is straightforward for most guests. If you’re using public transit, Guelph Central Station is a short walk away, and the main entrance drop-off makes rideshare arrivals easy.
