Kids Programming at Shore Leave

Shore Leave has fantastic activities planned for kids of all ages—not just for the little Siths, but for the Teen Jedis too! Younglings (ages 4–12) won't want to miss the Friday Night Dance Party and Movie Watch Party!

At the same time, Teen Jedis will have their own chill zone—a quiet spot to relax, escape the crowds, and maybe even meet other Padawans their age.

Got School Supplies?

Shore Leave is proud to support our local teachers. To help them, we're collecting school supplies. Many people don’t realize that teachers often buy supplies for their students out of their own pockets. Visit our website for details.

Are you ready for your Photo-Op?

Pre-sale ends June 15th! We have a great variety of Photo-Op’s available this year with our guests. Individual and group Ops are available. Be sure to pre-order as the number of sessions is limited.

Photo Ops are now available in our online store!

Fest With Our Guests is back!

Online ticket sales end June 15th! Last year’s Fest with our Guests was a huge, sold-out success—so of course, we’re bringing it back! Be sure to get your tickets early, as this event will sell out again.

Fest with our Guests is a special dinner and Mix & Mingle event held on Friday night of Shore Leave. To attend, you’ll need a Friday or Weekend membership. This year, we’re featuring a delicious Italian buffet, and all guests attending on Friday will be joining us for dinner.
