Visitor & Driver Tips
For the best experience, we recommend using a GPS-enabled navigation app to identify the specific entrance, as U.S. Rte 1 can be busy during rush hours. If you are planning to attend a major event or concert, arrive at least 60 minutes early to avoid potential traffic congestion near the stadium zones.
