- Arrive early, especially on weekends or closer to the holidays, to avoid larger crowds and enjoy a more relaxed experience.
- Consider visiting on a weeknight for a potentially less crowded and more intimate viewing of the light displays.
- Check the weather forecast before your visit and plan accordingly; comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended for the one-mile path.
