If you're looking to save some bucks, pack a lunch. The on-site cafés can be pricey, and there's plenty of room to eat your own food inside

Check out the schedule for free talks or events before you go! I stumbled upon a really interesting session, but I wish I'd known about it in advance so I could have planned better.

I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can – it's way less crowded and you'll have more time to soak up the art. I went on a Saturday and it felt a bit rushed with all the people around.

If you can, visit on a weekday. The weekends can get pretty busy, and you might find yourself waiting in line to explore certain areas.

Don’t forget your camera. The views are breathtaking especially during sunset. You might want to stay a bit later just to capture that perfect shot

I highly recommend checking the weather before your visit; it rained during my trip, so bringing an umbrella or poncho saved my day!
