Where you'll be
From Passprt Community
- Book the Express Entry ticket if you’re visiting on a weekend - the regular lines can get long, especially after 11 AM.
- The museum is heavily air-conditioned; carry a light layer if you’re sensitive to cold.
- Allocate at least two hours - the exhibits are vast, and rushing through makes you miss the story connections.
- Photography is allowed in most sections, but avoid flash - it’s both restricted and spoils the artwork detail.
- If you’re doing the kayaking experience, plan it either early morning or just before sunset - the light on the museum dome is spectacular then.
- Don’t skip the open courtyard views - they’re among the most photogenic spots in the entire complex.
- Give yourself enough time between the museum visit and the kayaking session - both experiences are best enjoyed at a relaxed pace.
