Buy your tickets online so you don't have to wait in line. Online tickets are good for one year. You can buy tickets online using your smartphone. This saved me half an hour during Christmas Break.

Go at night, park on the little street with meters across from the parking lot (you don't have to pay) and walk around back where the fountains are. Sit on the steps and see the city lights. Kiss her!

Ride in a space capsule, test your skills as an “armchair” astronaut or maneuver a rover through a Martian landscape. Learn about life in orbit inside a mockup of the ISS!

Bring an extra change of clothes. Kids LOVE to play in the water in Ocean and can get themselves pretty wet! Our Girl Scouts had a great time at Camp-In!

If you're here on a quiet day, go to Adventure and ask to see the throne room. It's definitely a cool and unique experience!

The Splish-Splash! area is great for younger children to play in. Just make sure you put on one of the raincoats on your children.

ADVENTURE! Unless your phone has a decent flash that can stay on for a while, bring a small flashlight, a pencil, and maybe some extra paper or small notebook. You'll need it.
