Plan your trip to arrive in our free parking area between 6:00pm and 7:30pm on the day of your ticket. Proceed to the gate for check-in. Please note that no guests will be admitted after 7:45pm to ensure an uninterrupted movie screening for the enjoyment of all ticketed guests.

Due to the uneven pavement and site conditions, closed-toed shoes are required. Please bring your chair, water, sunscreen/bug spray, and your camera for photo ops! Nevada State Prison is a weapons, tobacco, and vaping-free property.

To comply with State of Nevada regulations, we must have a signed Waiver of Liability for each visitor unless they are a current employee of the State of Nevada. Parents or legal guardians must sign one for their minor children. PLEASE BRING THIS FORM WITH YOU.
