Grab a combo ticket for the aquarium and the restaurant. It’s a bit cheaper than buying them separately, and you won't have to rush between the two!

I think you should definitely save time for the underwater tunnel. It's a unique view, but it can get busy. Try to hit it early in your visit to enjoy it more!

I suggest visiting on a weekday to avoid the weekend crowds. It was way more enjoyable without the hustle and bustle. Trust me, you'll appreciate the quieter atmosphere!

Watch your footing on the pathways; some can be a bit uneven. I tripped a couple of times just not looking where I was going!

I recommend getting a membership if you're local or will be back a few times. It pays for itself quickly and gives you discounts at the cafe and shop

Pack a picnic! The zoo has some awesome spots to eat outside, and it saves you money instead of buying food at the cafe.

Wear comfy shoes because you’ll be doing a lot of walking. I regretted my choice of footwear halfway through the day!

My advice is to visit early in the morning, like around 8 AM. It's way less crowded then and you can get some nice photos without too many people in the background.

Watch out for parking! I ended up driving around for a bit. If you can, consider public transport or rideshare to save time and hassle.

I recommend bringing a picnic! There are nice spots to sit and enjoy your food, plus it's way cheaper than eating at nearby restaurants.

I think it's worth checking out the art installations throughout the park. I missed a few because I didn’t realize they were there until I left. Take some time to explore the whole area!

Plan to stick around for sunset. The views of the mountains are stunning as the sun goes down; it’s the perfect way to end the day.

Arrive around 10 AM to avoid the crowds and snag a good parking spot. It fills up quickly, especially on weekends.

My advice is to bring your own snacks or have a picnic! There’s not much in the way of food options around, so save some cash and pack a lunch.
