Rain Room is an immersive art installation that allows you to walk through a downpour of continuous rain without getting wet. Motion sensors detect the movements of the human body as visitors navigate through the darkened space, becoming performers in this intersection of art, technology and nature. Please allow 30 minutes from your ticketed session time to experience Rain Room. This allows for your introduction to the work, 15 minutes inside Rain Room and time to explore the gift shop after.
The Sharjah Rain Room is a controlled space that uses 2,500 litres of self-cleaning recycled water to replicate rainfall indoors. Visitors are able to walk through this controlled space without getting wet thanks to 3D tracking cameras and high-tech sensors, which stop the showers as soon a person walks through the exhibit.
The Rain Room Sharjah online booking process is also fairly simple. But if you require any more information pertaining to the details mentioned, call on +971-6-561-0095 or send an email to rainroom@sharjahart.org.
Tickets will go on sale this Wednesday (we're told sometime in the morning) for every day of the installation's four-month run. LACMA expects entire days to sell out in advance, so don't bank on picking up same-day tickets at the museum's box office.
Should I purchase tickets in advance of my visit? Can I pick them up in advance of my visit?Yes. We recommend buying tickets before you arrive at the Gardens. We often sell out during busy seasons such as A Longwood Christmas, and most special events sell out in advance. You can purchase Gardens Admission or special event tickets in advance and print them at home or we can scan tickets directly from your mobile device. Please note that a $3 per ticket fee applies to purchases of special event tickets, including performances, dining events, and Fireworks & Fountains Shows. You may also purchase advance tickets over the phone and pick them up in our Visitor Center. An additional $6 fee applies for phone orders.
Will I be charged additional fees with my purchase?A $3 per ticket fee applies to performance, dining event, and Fireworks & Fountains tickets. Purchases of Gardens Admission tickets, Memberships, and Continuing Education classes do not incur a fee. Phone orders incur an additional $6 fee.
Can I save tickets to my mobile wallet?Yes. Use the Apple Wallet or Google Pay icon shown on the ticket to store to your mobile device. You will need to add each individual ticket type from your order to the wallet.
Can I get a refund? Can I exchange my ticket for another date?All sales are final. Tickets are non-refundable and may not be exchanged for another date and time. Lost or stolen tickets will not be refunded or replaced.

Does Longwood make donations of admission tickets to support other nonprofits/charity auctions/fundraisers?Yes, after submitting your request, Longwood reviews submissions and makes a decision at that time whether to fulfill. Submit your request.
What is timed ticketing?Timed ticketing offers reserved times to enjoy our displays and exhibits. With a timed ticket, a pre-established number of guests enter during each interval, allowing guests to enjoy shorter lines and a better viewing experience. Timed tickets are required for admission.
When can I use my Complimentary Guest Tickets?Complimentary Guest Tickets are for one-time general admission and are not valid for specially ticketed events and blackout days (peak days) during A Longwood Christmas. Blackout days are all Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays during A Longwood Christmas through January 1, 2024; and every day December 23, 2023 through January 1, 2024. Other blackout dates may apply; check your tickets to see additional restrictions.
What happens in case of inclement weather?Visiting our Gardens is a largely outdoor experience, and most of our events are rain or shine. We will make every effort to hold outdoor events and performances as scheduled. Cancellation of an event or performance is dependent on weather conditions at the Gardens, and the decision to cancel a performance will be made as close to show time as possible.
Is Longwood Gardens accessible for people with mobility or physical disabilities?Yes, our Gardens are easily accessible to guests with mobility or physical disabilities. There are 45 spaces reserved for handicapped parking at the front of the Parking Lot near the Visitor Center. Most restrooms and drinking fountains are wheelchair accessible. The Main Fountain Garden Overlook, The Conservatory and The Terrace are equipped with elevators, and some of the doors in the Visitor Center, Conservatory, and The Terrace are automated. Most garden paths are wide and paved, and a wheelchair route is suggested on our map. While most of the route is level or gently sloping, a few areas are more steeply graded but manageable with an able-bodied assistant. The Lookout Loft is the only accessible treehouse. The Chimes Tower and portions of the Peirce-du Pont House are not wheelchair accessible.
Is there a rental fee for wheelchairs, scooters, and strollers?Wheelchairs, electric scooters, and strollers are available in the Visitor Center on a first-come, first-served basis.

It features 70 picnic tables, grills, and restroom facilities in the shade of tall trees. Because it is in a wooded area, the ground is covered in mulch or gravel and not paved. The picnic tables are not specifically designed for handicapped accessibility.
Is there a family restroom/changing room?Our restrooms are equipped with pull-down changing tables and are large enough to afford guests the privacy they need. Visit the Green Wall in the Conservatory for facilities that are specifically designated as family restrooms.
