Don't miss the surrounding park! It’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a picnic after visiting the statue. I wish I had planned for that myself!

Check out the sunset views. I was blown away by how beautiful it looks against the statue. It was definitely a highlight of my day.

Bring some snacks and water. There are limited options nearby and you don't want to waste time searching for something to eat.

Aw man, wear comfy shoes! The area is bigger than I thought, and I ended up walking a lot. My feet were sore afterwards!

Check out the small gift shop before you leave! I found some unique souvenirs that aren't just typical tourist stuff, plus they’re pretty affordable.

Bring cash for the entrance fee; I had issues with card payments there. It's not super expensive, but you don't wanna get caught without cash!

Make sure to take breaks outside; the gardens are peaceful and perfect for chilling before heading back inside for more exhibits!

If you can, visit on a weekday around 10 AM. The crowds are way lighter then, and you can really soak in the atmosphere without feeling rushed

I recommend checking the weather before you go. If it’s rainy, some areas might get muddy and you might not enjoy it as much.

Try to plan your visit in the morning, around 10 AM. It was much cooler and light was nice for photos when I went

I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can. It was way less crowded when I went, and I really enjoyed taking my time with all the exhibits.

Make sure to wear comfortable shoes! The museum is pretty spread out and there's a lot of walking involved especially if you want to see everything.

If you're into photography, go on a weekday morning. The place is less crowded then, and you'll get the best shots without too many people photobombing your pics!

I suggest checking the opening hours before you go. I thought it would be open later, but I missed some cool exhibits because I got there an hour before closing

My advice is to take your time with the exhibits. I rushed through and didn't appreciate the details. There's so much fascinating info if you just slow down!
