FREE Silent Disco & Photo Booth
Step into the Rose Studio where:
- The lights are low
- The energy is high
- And the room is completely silent
Slip on a pair of wireless headphones, choose your channel, and dance the night away in your own musical world. From the outside, it’s quiet. On the inside? It’s a full-on party.
While you’re there, capture the moment at the Hidden Smirk Photo Booth, the perfect way to snap fun memories with friends during the silent disco.
Turn Up the Heat in the Inflatable Snow Dome
Not ready to head indoors? Keep the party going outside in our LED snow dome, where DJ Good Vibes will be spinning upbeat tracks all evening long. It’s the perfect place to warm up, move your feet, and keep the winter chill at bay.
