Munchkin Tips

  • Head right to the Kiddie Zone for pint-sized roller coasters, games & rides
  • Go early to avoid crowds & longer lines
  • Check out student photography, artwork, dance, song & other projects in the exhibition hall. Kids will love seeing their peers’ work & parents will love the air conditioned break from crowd chaos
  • Lather the kids in sunblock, wear sneakers & pack a stroller – there’s a lot of walking (and you’ll want the stroller to store stuff)
  • Bring your own snacks & water to save time & money
  • Pack hand sanitizer & wipes – mess is inevitable
