Best-times tips

  • Weekday mornings are calmest — perfect for toddlers.
  • Arrive right at opening on Saturdays for the shortest launch line in Mission Space.
  • The last hour of the day is a hidden gem: worlds are quiet and passport ceremonies feel extra special.

  • Start with the Adventure Planner — it builds a route around your children's ages and energy.
  • Most families spend 2–3 hours; each world takes about 40–50 minutes.
