Plan breaks to keep the day smooth.

Think in 45–60 minute blocks: explore, snack, restroom, repeat.

Restrooms

  • Near entrance and central plaza.
  • Family rooms where signed.
  • Use pre-show windows to avoid lines.

Food & Nearby Options

  • Park kiosks (seasonal).
  • Cafés along 5th Ave.
  • Picnic-friendly spots near the Pond.
  • Consider simple, non-messy snacks for kids.

Refill & Reset

  • Refill water during cooler indoor stops.
  • Use benches near Polar Circle for low-stim breaks.
  • Keep wipes and a small trash bag handy.

Pack light snacks for kids; lines ebb and flow with shows.
