Plan your stop

Before you go

Best time to visit

Mid‑morning between drives is the sweet spot: less rush than the post‑gate‑opening breakfast crowd and cooler than early afternoon.
For a scenic, lingering meal at prime hours, choose the restaurant; for a swift refuel before the next loop along the river, the cafeteria wins.
