Tips & Advice

  • Buy tickets online before arriving, since online purchase is strongly recommended and gate tickets are limited.
  • Choose a Monday-through-Thursday visit if you want a shorter wait; weekdays are less crowded.
  • Turn off your headlights after leaving the check-in tent and tune your radio to the station provided on-site.
  • Use the exit re-buckling area before driving away, then turn your headlights back on.
  • Allow for traffic-related variation in the drive duration, as time on the mile-long route depends on traffic.
