Helpful Tips:
- Stop By the Tag-A-Kid Booth and get your child a wristband should the two of you get seperated
- Aerosols of any kind are not allowed, including sunscreen. So bring sticks or creams.
- Strollers are allowed but can be difficult to maneuver through the crowds. However, there is considerable ground to cover between stages so depending on the ages of your child you may want to bring one anyway.
- If you don't want the hassle of a stroller, you can bring a soft(unframed) front or back carrier.
- Bring an empty Camelback bottle, plastic bottle or aluminum water bottle and refill for FREE all day to keep yourself and your children hydrated. You may also bring 2 factory sealed water bottles up to 1 liter each.
- Bring cash if possible. There are ATM's but there are often long lines.
