Parking & Tickets – How It Works
Parking at the Moonlite is tight, so we’re encouraging carpooling with a flat, per‑car fee of just $5—whether you arrive solo or packed with friends. Every dollar is shared with our neighboring nonprofits, who graciously open their lots for overflow parking.
Why we charge by the car
Our ticketing system was built for drive‑ins and counts vehicles, not individual guests. Buying tickets together (one order per car) lets the system track spaces accurately and tells us when to close sales.
First run, thanks for the grace
This is our debut run with the new setup. We’ll see how it flows and tweak anything that needs improvement. Thanks for carpooling, sharing the fun, and helping us keep the Moonlite running smoothly for everyone!
