Charlie’s Golden Ticket Giveaway

Ahead of the arrival of the National Broadway Tour of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , we’ve hidden six golden tickets throughout businesses in New Hanover County! The lucky finders of these “golden tickets” will be able to redeem them for two free tickets to the show.

Clues will be posted below, as well as on the Wilson Center’s Facebook and Instagram pages beginning March 28, 2022.

Clue #1: Start at the New Hanover County Public Library Main Branch…
Before the musical came to be
Or the movies on the silver screen
Charlie’s adventures took place in a book
Look for me nestled in the children’s nook

Clue #2: Start at the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher…
Follow the Bike Path through nature
Stay outside for sure
Make your way to the deck where you can see
The American alligator, a treasure in our country

Clue #3: Start at Rocket Fizz…
Like Charlie, begin at a candy store
Like Augustus, you’ll only want more
You’ll find me where I was originally
Surrounded by chocolate, as all things should be

Clue #4: Start at the NC Cooperative Extension & NHC Arboretum…
Search for me where children play
In a world of pure imagination all day
Perhaps sit down for a moment or two
To see the world from a new point of view

Clue #5: Start at the Children’s Museum of Wilmington…
Welcome to the world where children learn through play
Find me where guests pretend to eat every day
Head to the Mezzanine and look to your right
Your golden opportunity should be in your line of sight

Clue #6: Start at the Cameron Art Museum…
11 soldiers led by a drummer soundless
Captured in a moment we call Boundless
This is where, if you’re bold
You’ll find me, the final ticket of gold
