Know before you go
- Buy park tickets and make ride reservations online well in advance - walk-up pricing and availability are both worse.
- Summer is brutally hot and humid with near-daily afternoon thunderstorms; spring and fall are far more comfortable.
- The parks are spread out enough that a rental car (or a lot of rideshare budget) is close to essential.
