Insider tips

Wear comfortable, sturdy walking shoes, as the island's paths are largely unpaved and uneven.

Check the daily program at the entrance to align your visit with specific character performances at the Emma Theatre.

Bring a backpack with water bottles and snacks, as the island layout requires significant walking between character homes.

What to avoid

Do not rush through the island; the park experience is designed to be slow-paced, and attempting to see everything in two hours will likely result in missing the interactive character events.

Good to know

Open primarily during the summer season; closed during autumn, winter, and early spring.

Etiquette

Casual, outdoorsy clothing appropriate for weather changes; respect the personal space of the characters as per park guidelines.
