I suggest starting your hike early like around 7 AM. The morning light is gorgeous and it helps you avoid the crowds and heat. Trust me it makes a huge difference!

I recommend checking the weather before you go... It got cloudy for me and the views were not as stunning... A clear day is worth planning for!

I think wearing sturdy shoes is a must! I wore sneakers and slipped a lot on the rocky parts. A good pair of hiking boots will save you from a faceplant!

Check the weather before you go! I was not prepared for the heat and ended up wishing I had brought more water and a hat. It gets super hot out there!

My advice is to book your ride in advance. I thought I could walk in, but they were super busy. I ended up waiting almost an hour for a spot

I think you should arrive at least 30 minutes early to fill out any waivers and get familiar with the horses. Starting the experience rushed isn’t fun at all!

I think getting the race package with extra laps is totally worth it. The more time on the track, the better! I felt like I could’ve easily taken another round.

John December 8, 2024

My advice is to wear comfortable clothes. The karting suits can get a little warm, but being comfortable will let you enjoy the race even more!

Watch out for some steep parts on the trail. I found it a bit harder than I expected, so wear good hiking shoes – your feet will thank you later!

Thomas January 17, 2025

I suggest checking the weather before you go. It rained on me and the rocks got super slippery. It ruined my fun a little, but lesson learned!

Jack December 11, 2024

look for some free parking spots on the side of the road, instead of paying at the main lot. it saved me a few bucks and it wasn’t too far of a walk!

I think you should consider bringing earplugs. The noise from the races can be intense and it really took away from my experience at times!

user avatar
Jason February 3, 2025

I recommend arriving by 10 AM. It gets crowded later, and the earlier you get there, the better your spot for viewing races. Plus, you can explore the park while it’s still chill!

user avatar
Christopher December 8, 2024

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The food prices there are high, and most vendors don’t have great options. Pack a cooler if you can!

Don’t be shy to ask questions about the horses! The guides are super friendly and love sharing their knowledge; it makes the experience way more enriching.

Maria December 5, 2024

If you can, go for the morning rides around 8 AM. The weather's cooler, and the light is just perfect for photos!

Adam October 16, 2024

Pack a small backpack with water and snacks. You’ll enjoy the ride a lot more without worrying about thirst or hunger!

Don't forget sunscreen, even if it's evening! The sun can be super strong even at dusk, and you don’t want to leave with a burn after a great game

user avatar
Maria February 15, 2025

If you can, stay until the end. The atmosphere during the last inning can be electric, plus you’ll catch the post-game entertainment which is sometimes pretty awesome!

Brian January 17, 2025

I suggest checking for any special promotions on tickets. Sometimes they have discounts on specific game nights, which really helps save some cash.

Patrick December 6, 2024

Make sure to explore the upper deck areas of the stadium for some cool views of the game. The seats up there aren't as bad as you'd think, and it's a fun vibe.

Make sure to check out the vendors inside the arena for snacks, but I would recommend skipping the pricey drinks. You can save a ton by bringing a reusable water bottle!

My advice is to catch the light rail if you can! Parking can be a hassle and super expensive, so the train from downtown is a total game changer.

Look out for the free park shuttle, especially during peak times. I didn't use it and ended up walking farther than I needed to!

user avatar
James January 22, 2025

My advice is to grab a map from the visitor center; it's super handy. I got lost a couple of times because I relied too much on my phone.

user avatar
Anthony December 20, 2024

If you plan to grab lunch at the park, bring your own snacks! I spent way too much on food in the cafeteria and it was just average.

Elijah November 24, 2024

I suggest starting your hike early, like around 7 AM, to avoid the crowds and catch the sunrise. It's totally worth it!

If you're prone to motion sickness, grab some ginger chews before your flight. A few people were feeling queasy, and I think that's something worth preparing for.

Edward November 24, 2024

Make sure to book your flight in advance, especially during peak season. I got lucky, but I overheard others who missed out because they waited too long.
