| Question: |
My family already has tickets (2 adults 2 small kids), but my in-laws will now be in town for Easter weekend and would like to maximize time with their grandkids. They will not participate in the festivities, but would like to join us for lunch while at stone barns. 1) Do they need tickets for that? 2) If yes, is there a way to get two extra tickets? |
| Answer: |
Hello: The Center will only be open to ticket-holders on Sheep Shearing Day. Unfortunately, the event is completely sold out and there are no more tickets available. |
