The park opens bright and early, so grab your sunscreen and head over in the morning to beat the crowds. As one reviewer noted on 2024-09-03, “Solid day trip option - We upgraded to stay at hubba hubba highway which include meals, chairs/umbrellas, and locker for $100 for 2 adults and 3 kids under 5. This was a fun day to relax with small children.” With plenty of food options available, you can refuel with a juicy burger or a refreshing frozen drink. Remember, the park is open until 4 PM, so there’s plenty of time to explore all the attractions.
