Planning Notes

💡

Reserve a timed entry and check the current last-entry time before leaving. Strollers must be parked outside, and the historic paths have limited wheelchair access.

Pair it with one Music Concourse museum rather than overloading the day

Use the nearby free park shuttle or Music Concourse Garage

Check current admission, free-entry eligibility, and Tea House plans before visiting
