COVID-19 Specific Rules and Regulations:

 

1. DO NOT COME TO THE EVENT IF YOU ARE SYMPTOMATIC, HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN INFECTED OR SOMEONE WHO IS SYMPTOMATIC, HAVE TRAVELLED OUTSIDE OF CALGARY RECENTLY, ARE STILL IN QUARANTINE, RECENTLY RELEASED FROM QUARANTINE, AND/OR BELIEVE YOU HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO COVID-19. This is for everyone’s protection. Please be responsible.

 

1. THE GOLDEN RULE - You are not to leave your car for any reason outside of using the bathroom or a major medical emergency (with the exception of lawn chairs and the bed of your trucks/trunks). Security will patrol all lanes, and you will be escorted off the property if you break this rule. One of the only ways we prevent infection is by limiting close contact between household units. Physical distancing is a key measure in fighting this virus. If you are in medical distress, please signal a staff member, and they will coordinate the appropriate first responders. If we cannot abide by this rule, we will no longer have events of this nature or any other. We believe in you and our greater community to abide by this very simple rule so we can congregate and share in this experience together. If you are utilizing one of our patios, the same rules apply. After you have been escorted to your designated patio, you must remain there until the experience has ended. Do not bring coolers, large food storage bags, stoves, or any other “camping” style equipment. Please dress weather appropriate for the patios as they have no coverings.

 

1. There are permanent washroom facilities on-site, sanitized in accordance with current AHS guidelines. However, public washrooms are considered a high-risk facility for infection, so please refrain from using these facilities unless absolutely necessary. Please follow all posted rules and regulations and maintain physical distancing. You are strongly recommended to wear a mask at all times when using these facilities.

 

1. You may roll your windows down, but do not discard anything from your vehicle.

 

1. All food and beverage must be purchased through our online system or with one of our roaming attendants and will be delivered to your vehicle. In order to make this a seamless process, please pre-purchase concession items at least 4 hours before the start time of your experience.

 

1. According to AHS guidelines, the total experience should not exceed 2 hours. We ask you to leave the site safely and quickly with the help of the staff.
