Here’s what to expect when visiting Kings Landing during the regular season:
Arrival
Please enter our main entrance at the Welcome Centre. Upon arrival, a costumed greeter will welcome you to Kings Landing and share important information regarding your visit.
As you enter the Welcome Centre, you may sanitize your hands if desired and make your way to the admissions counter or the Peddler’s Market depending on the reason for your visit. Protective barriers may still be in place at the Axe & Plough Café and the Peddler’s Market per our staff’s comfort level.
Washrooms are available at the Welcome Centre, in the King’s Head Inn and onsite near the Parish School. Staff will continue to clean washrooms and common surfaces throughout the day.
When you are ready to make your way into the Village, please use the exit through the Indigenous Gallery and make your way into the past.
In the Village
In the Village, you will find hand sanitizer in select buildings for your convenience. Historic buildings may have barriers between you and our staff, including wood or rope and stanchions. Staff may use these barriers and wear their masks if they wish.
Wagons
Masks are no longer required on wagons. Hand sanitizer is available as you step onto the wagon.
Dining
Hand sanitizer is available upon entry. Staff are encouraged to wear masks if they wish.
Shopping
Located in the Welcome Centre, the Peddler’s Market is home to a collection of special gifts and souvenirs of Kings Landing and New Brunswick. There’s something for everyone and one-of-a-kind products only found at Kings Landing. You don’t have to pay admission to Kings Landing to visit the store and shop.
Did you see something you love in the village? You may just be able to find a replica at the Grant Store. Shop the Kings Landing Collection in the old fashioned general store. Here, you’ll find souvenirs made by Kings Landing artisans, old-fashioned treats and reproductions of some of the favourite village items.
In both retail locations, protective barriers will remain in place and sanitizer will be available to use for both staff and visitors.
Leaving Kings Landing
Please exit through the Welcome Centre by 5 p.m. during the regular season. We encourage you to help us to continue to improve the Kings Landing experience by leaving us feedback on Facebook, TripAdvisor, Google Reviews or SurveyMonkey. An iPad feedback station is also available in the Welcome Centre.
