Make the most of your visit
For a first visit, choose your must-do rides before adding the aquarium or water park. A ticket with more inclusions is useful only if you have time to enjoy them. Keep part of the day free for looking closely at the models.
Before you book
Use the official map to group nearby activities and check the current calendar for each attraction. If swimming is part of the plan, pack for it and allow time to change before returning to the rest of your day.
