In these high-energy shows, music and vibrant laser visuals combine for a dazzling experience. From classic rock to today’s pop hits, there’s a laser light show for everyone in the family.
You asked, and we listened! Stellar Nights will now feature laser light shows at 8:00 pm AND 9:00 pm, so if you miss the first show, you still have another chance. Each show will play twice, with encore showings of the Taylor Swift and Queen shows at 8:00 pm on July 24 and July 31, respectively. Laser light shows are included in Stellar Nights at no additional cost, but seating is limited and guests will gain entry on a first come, first served basis.
