I think taking the guided tour is worth the extra cash—our guide shared so many behind-the-scenes stories that really brought everything to life!

Plan for about 2-3 hours. It might look small but there’s a lot of cool stuff to see! I felt like I rushed through at first, but once I slowed down, I really enjoyed it.

Take advantage of the free admission day if your schedule allows; I went to the free first Saturday event, and it felt like a bonus visit with additional activities.

Check out the full-scale replica of the statue of Athena inside—it’s a highlight! I almost missed it, so make sure to give yourself time to explore the interior.

Bring your own snacks and drinks. The cafe is decent, but it can be pricey, and there’s limited seating. My advice is to grab a bite outside and then come back!

My advice is to bring snacks and drinks; the café options are limited and pricey. Packing a little something saved me time and money during my visit.

I recommend using the audio guide! It gives great insights on the artwork and helps you appreciate things more. Just don’t forget to return it!

If you're a fan of the Dukes of Hazzard def make time for the photo ops with the General Lee. It’s a fun touch! I suggest going right when it opens around 10 AM to avoid the crowds.

I think the audio tours are super helpful, but I would suggest downloading the app in advance since the Wi-Fi was kinda spotty inside

If you're a fan of history, b sure to snag a brochure at the entrance... It points out highlights you don’t wanna miss... I walked around a bit aimlessly at first, wishing I had one!

I think you should take advantage of the free admission – it really allows you to spend freely on souvenirs or snacks without feeling guilty. I bought some cool stuff without breaking the bank!
