Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a seamless visit, we recommend arriving at least 30 to 45 minutes before the start of major events to secure your spot, especially during the baseball season or festival weekends. Always double-check signage on-site for any dynamic pricing or event-day rate changes. Using a GPS navigation app will help you pinpoint the exact entrance, as downtown street patterns can occasionally be affected by city events or road maintenance.
