  • Arrive early to allow ample time to navigate the park and find parking, particularly if visiting on a weekend or during school holidays.
  • Check the weather forecast and dress in warm layers, as much of the experience is outdoors.
  • Consider visiting on a weekday evening for a potentially less crowded experience.
