✨ DOME DINING FAQs! ✨
❓ WHAT EXACTLY ARE THE DOMES?
Our domes are private, HEATED igloos that create a cozy, unique dining experience right on the waterfront! Each dome accommodates parties of 1–12 guests!
❓ DOES IT COST EXTRA TO DINE IN A DOME? NOPE! 🙌 There is absolutely NO fee to reserve or dine in our domes!
❓ WHY DO I NEED A CREDIT CARD TO RESERVE? A credit card is required when booking due to our cancellation and no-show policy. There is no charge or hold placed on your card when making your reservation. A $50 fee applies only to no-shows or cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice.
❓ HOW LONG DO WE GET OUR DOME?
Each reservation is for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Because our domes are extremely popular, we book reservations back-to-back, so we ask that everyone be mindful of their reserved dining time.
❓ HOW DO I MAKE A RESERVATION?
Reservations are HIGHLY encouraged, and you have two easy options!

AND ONE LAST THING! You know what they say… Rome wasn’t built in a day! Well, neither is Pinky’s Winter Dome Village! 😂 Over the next three weeks, we’ll slowly be transforming from the Key West of the Midwest to a Winter Hallmark movie, but will remain open every day for lunch and dinner.
