Insider tips

Bring a light jacket, as coastal breezes from the nearby Pacific Ocean often cause temperatures to drop after dark.

Visit during the evening to see the water fountain displays, which remain dormant during daylight hours.

Utilize the designated pedestrian paths, as the soft landscaping areas are often restricted to maintain irrigation integrity.

What to avoid

Avoid visiting during the peak heat of midday, as there is limited natural tree canopy for shade in the center of the plaza.
