Hi thanks for this. I like to know if they have an official website. We are planning to visit this but need to know information such as open times and days, prices of tickets and whether we have to inform them and arrange with them before we go.
Yes, advance reservation would be better. I have included contact details in the post itself.
They are open Tuesday-Saturday office hours.
Tickets are very cheap. Few dollars for foreigners.
Cheers

I tried to contact over the phone... but failed. Pls advise the time of the English show.
Thanks.
Hi Fahim,
The do have Sinhala shows in the morning. For English show you have to contact them somehow. Phone contacts may be out of order because of festival season. Try once more this week daytime and let me know. If still fail, I can visit the place during my lunch time and get the info for you.
Cheers...
