Insider tips

Check the event calendar online before arriving, as the park is often booked for private trade fairs or specialized shows that may limit general access.

Bring sturdy walking shoes, as the site spans a large, partially unpaved outdoor area.

Bring sun protection, as much of the exhibition grounds and walking paths are exposed with limited natural shade.

What to avoid

Do not assume all areas are open to the public during major trade show weekends, as some sections may be restricted to ticketed event attendees.

Good to know

Operating schedule is highly seasonal and fluctuates significantly based on the event calendar; strictly closed on non-event days during winter months.
