The atmosphere stays quiet with no background music, staff do not use whistles, the large mushroom feature is turned off, and the lazy river is closed. The event runs continuously without a mid-session safety break, then provides a short window to dry off, collect belongings, and exit before regular entry begins. Admission is $5 per person, including infants under 12 months. Tickets are available first come, first served. This fee covers only the special session, and anyone wishing to remain afterward will need to purchase standard admission once the event ends.
