I recommend arriving about 30 minutes early to grab a good seat. The best rows fill up fast, especially for popular releases. I didn't and had to sit too close to the screen.

I think you should definitely try the snacks - the popcorn was super fluffy! Just be mindful of the sizes; I got the biggest one and it was way too much for one person.

I suggest checking the movie schedules online before you go. I went there without looking and ended up missing the show I wanted. Online schedules are usually accurate and save you from a last-minute rush.

Bring a bit of cash for souvenirs. The crafts are unique, and bargaining is part of the fun. Don't miss out on taking something special home!

If you want to save a few bucks, consider eating at a local spot outside the Bomas instead of the in-house restaurant. You'll get more authentic food for less!

Try to visit on a weekday if you can. It’s less crowded and way easier to enjoy the stunning performances without the hustle of weekend crowds.

I recommend checking the show schedule online before you go, so you can catch a cultural performance. It's a highlight and gets busy, so timing is key!

I recommend checking out the local artisans. They have some unique crafts that are affordable. I almost missed them, but I'm glad I stumbled upon this hidden gem!

I think bringing your own snacks is a smart move – the food options can be a bit pricey and not always what you expect, so save some cash and pack a picnic instead.

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. The walk along the waterfront is long and you might want to explore every corner. I regretted it when my feet started to ache!

I really suggest checking out the museum on weekdays. It was much less crowded when I went on a Tuesday, so I could soak in all the history without feeling rushed. Plus, it’s a lot more peaceful for photos!
