Question 1

What to bring?

Accepted Answer

Plan for shifting weather in Western North Carolina by dressing in layers. Feel free to bring a water bottle with you to fill in the chapel before we set out on our walk to the viewing area. Wear comfy shoes and plan on a 5 to 15 minute walk.

Question 2

Is a Blue Ghost Fairy Experience Guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

We have had the honor of having experience with Blue Ghost Fairies every year for the last 32 years. That stated, the breeding cycle, weather, and other natural variables do exist. We cannot guarantee an experience; however, the fairies have not let us down yet!

Question 3

Will more tickets become available?

Accepted Answer

Our staff is working hard to monitor the Blue Ghost Fairies on the property! Check back after the season starts, post the Mother's Day holiday. More dates and slots are to come!

Question 4

What about the weather?

Accepted Answer

The weather in Western North Carolina can be variable through the spring. This event is not rain or shine. We cannot guarantee the weather. If we have rain the event will be canceled for the evening, with no refunds. We always try to reschedule you if at all possible in case of cancellation.

Question 5

Can you accommodate mobility constraints?

Accepted Answer

We do require a short walk to one of our viewing areas; however, if guests with mobility concerns contact us in advance, we will do everything we can to accommodate them. We cannot promise that we can accommodate every request, but we do ur best as long as we have advance notice.
