Insider tips

Check the daily stunt show schedule immediately upon entry to plan your route around the live performance times.

Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the park grounds are extensive and involve a significant amount of outdoor walking.

Bring a light jacket, as several indoor exhibition halls and the 4D cinema are climate-controlled and significantly cooler than the outdoor areas.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to enter restricted or gated areas marked as active film production zones, as these are strictly off-limits to park guests.
