If you're looking to save some cash, try eating at the food trucks around Forsyth Park. They're affordable and offer great local flavors. Avoid the touristy restaurants in the area, as they're usually pricier and not as good.

My advice is to pack a snack if you plan to stay a while. There’s not much around for food right at the Cathedral, and you'll want to enjoy the tranquility without worrying about hunger.

I think visiting early in the morning around 9 AM is the way to go. The light streaming through the stained glass is just magical, and there are fewer people, so you can really soak it all in.

If you're driving, be aware that parking can be a pain. I recommend checking for nearby lots or using a rideshare option so you can skip the hassle. Save time for enjoying the place instead!

Don’t forget your camera! The square is super photogenic with those old trees and classic architecture. I missed some great shots because I didn’t plan for it.

My advice is to bring a snack. There are benches to sit on, and it’s nice to relax with a little bite while soaking in the architecture and history. I wish I'd had a drink with me.

I think visiting Chippewa Square in the morning around 9 AM is the best. Fewer crowds and you can enjoy the serenity before the tourists swarm in. Plus, the lighting for photos is awesome!

I suggest taking your time to read the historical plaques around the square; they really add depth to the experience. I skipped them and regret not learning more about the area.

I suggest visiting the fountain early in the morning around 8 AM to avoid the crowds and get some amazing photos without people in them. The light is gorgeous too!

I think you should take a moment to sit on one of the benches and soak in the atmosphere. It really adds to the whole experience! I missed that part trying to rush through.

Plan to visit on a Thursday if you can. They usually have extended hours and often a fun event happening then, which makes for a lively atmosphere.

Check out the special exhibitions before you go! I missed one that sounded amazing, and I felt bummed later. Staying updated online can save you a lot of time and disappointment.

If you're looking for a good spot to grab a meal after your visit, head to nearby River Street. You can find several budget-friendly eateries with a lovely view of the water.

I recommend checking out the nearby historic district while you’re there. It's just a short walk away and totally worth the time to explore the beautiful surroundings.

My advice is to check out the museum shop for unique souvenirs! They had some cool stuff that you won't find anywhere else and I saved a good amount by buying a small item instead of a bigger one

If you're planning your visit, try to go around 10 AM. That’s when it opens, and you’ll avoid the crowds and have more time to explore without feeling rushed
