Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes suitable for uneven terrain, as the trails are not asphalted and can be challenging.
- Bring a rain jacket, as the experience continues even in light rain, but check the website for storm-related cancellations.
- Consider using a baby carrier for young children instead of a stroller, as the trails and suspended bridge are not stroller-friendly.
- Book tickets online in advance to secure your preferred time slot, as reservations are strongly recommended.
- Arrive on time for your reserved slot; while late entry is possible for up to 30 minutes, arriving early won't grant earlier access.
