If you want to save a little cash, consider visiting on a Wednesday. They often have special discounts and you'll avoid the weekend crowds!

If you can, visit on a weekday around 2 PM. The museum was super quiet then, and I could take my time with each piece without rushing

I suggest checking their website for free admission days; I went on a Sunday and it saved me a good amount. Just be ready for more crowds on those days.

I recommend bringing a camera and a water bottle... The butterfly garden is absolutely stunning, and you’ll want to capture every moment... Just be mindful of not disturbing the butterflies...

I suggest going on a weekday especially if you can swing it around 2 PM. The crowds are way lighter then and you can really take your time exploring without bumping into too many people.

I think it’s worth sticking around for the tour guide's stories; they really bring the place to life. But try going during the weekdays if you can; it's less crowded and more enjoyable.

My advice is to check the schedule for the float-building workshops. They only run at specific times, and I missed one because I didn’t plan ahead.

Don’t miss the little courtyard at the back; it’s a nice spot to relax for a moment and take a few photos... I almost skipped it, but it turned out to be a highlight!

My advice is to go around 2 PM when it’s less crowded. I went in the morning and felt rushed, but later I could take my time and soak everything in without having to squeeze past people

I suggest visiting on a weekday afternoon if you can – it was way less crowded when I went. Makes it so much easier to appreciate the exhibits without feeling rushed.
