2
Parents & ChaperonesSuitable for chaperones accompanying students, but note the rule limiting one guest per student.
3
Larger familiesNot ideal for groups trying to bring multiple guests per student due to the one-guest-per-student capacity restriction.

Early plannersBest for planners who can secure tickets early, as admissions are sold on a first come, first serve basis.
