Tips from parents
- Free entry for everyone from 7:30 to 9am daily through the Main Gate, which suits early risers.
- Thanksgiving Day is a free day for all visitors, so expect more people than usual.
- The large lawn and pond are good spots for a picnic and for little ones to run around.
- Last entry is earlier in fall and winter, so arrive well before closing. Bring a jacket, since fog can make the park chilly.
