Visitor & Driver Tips
Standard guest parking in Lot 2 is complimentary, eliminating the need to pre-purchase standard parking passes. To ensure closer positioning to the tram shelters, plan to arrive 30 to 45 minutes before the official park opening time, particularly during summer weekends and holiday festival seasons. Before boarding the tram, note your specific row marker or take a photo of your lane signage on your smartphone, as the expansive tiered lots can look uniform after dark. Remember to pack any essentials, sunblock, or light jackets into a park-compliant bag so you do not need to make midday trips back to your car.
