- Arrive early if you want the upper lot, because it fills up quickly; the middle and lower lots are open too.
- Bring blankets and lawn chairs, since there are benches and ramadas but seating in the park is limited.
- Charge your phone before the Santa photo, because pictures are taken on your own device and nothing is printed on site.
- Count every parent who wants to ride the train or be in the Santa photo when you buy passes, since adults need their own.
