'Shows' such as gun fights, happen on Main Street regularly. The little kids where having a blast! Parking is in a dirt lot and on the grass. A parking attendant will guide you to your spot. Handicap parking is directly by the entrance, also dirt/gras. Purchase tickets on site or through their website. They offer senior, military and first responder discounts. They also have group rates, host school groups and private events. Main Street is to your right as you enter. A wide dirt road with wooden structures on each side. Here you'll find a general store, trading post, candy shop, saloons, public restrooms, blacksmith, and lots of wild west and early settler memorabilia. For example, costumes from the Buffalo Bill show, native artifacts, weapons, horse tack, barber shop items, tools and much, much more. There are several coin operated kiddie rides along the sidewalks too. To the left of the entrance is the train station, Native American village and a chuck wagon and prairie schooner. We ate at the Golden Nugget Saloon, the only food option open during our visit. Walk-up counter service and a full bar. They have a stage for live music and public restrooms. The menu is mostly chicken prepared in a variety of ways, grilled cheese, panini, Soda, iced tea, coffee & tea. Food is brought to your table when ready. Bus your own table. There is one recycling bin by the bar- the only one I saw in the park. My vegetable panini was pretty good. Fresh, grilled veg with cheese melted over all in a panini press. I ordered a hot tea, which seemed to confuse everyone, but they sorted it out. This venue has been around since the 50's and for me, some of the 'wear' adds to the authenticity of feeling like a wild west town. I would not bring my kids to watch 'shoot outs', but there were plenty of kids and most were enjoying the shows and recreating shoot-outs among themselves. Until the caps in their cap guns ran out. You can buy those in the general store along with hats and t-shirts among other things. Be aware, the gun shots during shows are loud and there is a good deal of shouting during these recreations. If your child does not like loud noises check the show time schedule and plan to be away from Main St. during those shows. At the end of Main St., behind the saloon, you'll find mini-golf, panning for gems and a few animals (you cannot touch or feed them). You can walk through the woods to the woodsmans cottage, school house, Native American village and chuck wagon. There are staff members all around. There are several picnic tables on the grounds, many under the trees with trash barrels nearby. Corn hole is available between the stage coach and lariat tossing lessons. All in all we enjoyed the venue. The staff were engaging and funny. I very much enjoyed the small museum displays set up as store fronts such as the Stage Coach office or Barber for example. The coach ride is a fun experience that isn't available in many places. The train was a tight fit for the adults, but fun none the less.

But it was kind of expensive, for 2 ppl with a military discount it was over $70. Not worth the money, I think. Small place and we saw everything in about 1 1/2 hours. Staff are hit or miss. The actors are friendly, but the sales people, some are friendly and the others weren't. Glad we got to experience it but wouldn't go back. I don't know how families with kids could afford it.

I had always seen signs for the different productions that they put on here, but never decided to go until now - but we're glad we did! If you're in the same boat and reading this review, just go! The venue was really intimate and every seat in the house is a good one. My son really enjoyed being able to sit up so close to the action. All the actors were from local schools, and they were all excellent. The Simbas, both the young and the older version, were real standouts. Really friendly staff as well. If you have some time to kill before or after the show, there's a great little playground right next door.

They also closed off the wide archway (which allowed the flushing sounds of the closest restroom bleed into the house). Now only a single curtained entrance remains six or seven feet from where the rest rooms are. They did a fantastic job and from what I understand, the lobby will be further renovated in the future as well as other construction to help make the theatre the best it can be. I saw my first performance at the DLT in 2007 and got involved with the theatre in 2011. It really is a charming space to enjoy community theater and (should the reader be inclined) to get creatively involved. Unfortunately, its location in a residential area on a rather hilly section of Dover, NJ is perhaps the only considerable con regarding the theatre but there are ample parking spots about and a municipal parking lot two blocks away for theatergoers. I gave this theatre a four star review only because of the few shortfalls that naturally come with a small theatre. The theatre has no room for tall sets but for a small historical theatre but the stage has a wonderful width and depth that's been home to some absolutely wonderful sets, excellent productions and first rate performances. There is no way this theatre can compare with the Paper Mill Playhouse, but among the many community theatres in Northern New Jersey, Dover Little Theare more than holds its own and on those special and not seldom occassions, surpasses them with the quality of the acting.
