My advice is to visit around sunset. The views are absolutely magical and you'll get both day and nighttime city vibes in one go.

If you go on a weekday instead of the weekend, it’ll likely be less crowded. I went on a Tuesday and it was a totally different experience compared to the weekend.

My advice is to check for discount codes online before you go. I saved some bucks doing this and it made the experience even sweeter!

I suggest booking your flight in the late afternoon around 5 PM to catch the sunset. It's such a breathtaking view and you'll get the city lights twinkling as you land. Definitely a highlight for me!

Don’t forget your camera, but make sure to double-check their rules on photography. I missed some great shots because I was worried about guidelines

I think it’s smart to use the app for your tickets. Scanning at the gate was a breeze with my phone, and it saved me from fumbling with paper in the crowd.

If you’re looking for a great view, try to sit higher up. I had seats on the lower level once and could hardly see the full action. The upper tiers have a better overall perspective

My advice is to check out the food options in advance. Some stands can get super crowded, and you might end up spending more if you don’t plan. I found the pretzels and pizza worth every penny!

I suggest spreading out your games. We tried to do too much in one day and ended up worn out. Take breaks inbetween. Enjoy the vibe a bit!

Dress in layers! The weather can change quickly, and if you're sitting in the sun, it can get hot. I ended up sweating a ton, then freezing when the sun went down!

Public transport is the way to go! Take the subway to the stadium. It saves you from the parking hassle and traffic – I paid a fortune for parking last time. Plus, it’s a fun way to soak in the city's vibe!

If you can, bring your own snacks and drinks. The cafe can be pricey, and a little break with your own food really hits the spot!

Don't forget to check if there's a promo code for your tickets! I saved a bit on mine that way, which was a nice surprise.

I suggest bringing a small portable charger. Using your phone for pics and directions drains battery life, and you might miss out on moments.

I recommend arriving around 5:30 PM for weeknight games. You'll beat the crowd and have a better chance to find cheaper parking near the arena.

My advice is to go in the afternoon, around 3 PM. It’s less crowded then, and you get more one-on-one time with the instructors. Plus, you won’t feel rushed!

I think wearing a windbreaker is a smart move! The chopper can get pretty windy, and it's way more comfortable than freezing your butt off mid-flight

My advice is to bring your own skates if you can. The rentals are okay, but having your own is way more comfortable and they usually charge a fee for rentals.
