Not always! On regular show nights walk ins are welcome! However, having a reservations WILL guarantee that you can get in. There’s nothing more disappointing than coming all the way to the Chateau only to be turned away because they’re sold out.

Iron Springs Chateau began as a candy and cigar store that was operated for several years beginning in 1880. Iron Springs changed owners several times before the Iron Springs Company purchased it and began to sell the “Iron Springs” mineral water commercially. It sold in 1887 to J.G. Hiestand, who built the original building now known as the Iron Springs Chateau Melodrama Dinner Theater.
Not only are you allowed, you’re encouraged! Iron Springs Chateau brings the classic melodrama to life with plenty of audience interaction.
