Arrive early for birthday parties
The park fills up during the week and especially on weekends, so reserve space well in advance for group events.
Good for mixed-age siblings

Check bathroom status first
The restroom is sometimes locked, not always clean, and the water fountain in the lion statue has been.
Perfect for hot days
