Book late-afternoon slots

Carry sun protection
Even brief time on the outdoor sections can be bright—hat and sunscreen keep the visit comfortable.
Mind the glass floor
The sky-deck has a glass panel popular with photographers and nervous visitors alike; step carefully and follow staff instructions.
Use hotel pickup for ease
Private transfers save time navigating traffic and ensure you arrive within your timed entry window.
Comfortable walking shoes
Flat paths and a little standing time on the deck make closed-toe shoes a sensible choice.
Sunscreen and hat
Protects against strong sun if you visit during daytime or on the outdoor approaches.
