I think if you can, buy your tickets online before you go. Saved us a few bucks and a bunch of time standing in line!

I recommend getting there right at 9 AM when they open. It was way less crowded, and we could explore the exhibits at our own pace without the crowds.

My advice is to check out the outdoor exhibits too. They have some cool science stuff outside, but it can be easy to miss if you're too focused on the indoors.

I recommend visiting in the early morning around 9 AM when it’s less crowded and the lighting for photos is fantastic. You'll enjoy a peaceful experience as you take in the views.

My advice is to bring snacks and water with you. There aren’t many food options nearby, and it can get hot during the day, so you’ll want to stay hydrated while exploring

I recommend checking out the small gift shops nearby. They have unique souvenirs that aren't overpriced, so you can grab a little something without breaking the bank. Plus, it helps support local artisans!

I recommend wearing comfortable shoes; the park is a lot bigger than it looks! You’ll do a lot of walking, and it’s easy to lose track of time.

My advice is to check out the meal plans ahead of time. I ended up spending more than I intended on food, so budgeting for that really helps.

I suggest arriving around 9:30 AM to beat the crowds and snag the best seats for the play. It gives you a chance to explore the park a bit before it gets busy.

My advice is to bring a picnic! There are some lovely spots to sit and enjoy a meal, and it can save you a good chunk of money instead of dining out in town.
