Parking is free and follows a first-come first-served policy. There are a limited number of handicap spaces next to each venue.

Following is the general camera policy that can be changed based on a specific request from the attraction or promoter:

Still cameras of any type may be used to take pictures of sporting events or events where house lights are illuminated during a performance as long as it does not interfere with other guests view. Any tripod or other photography equipment may not be used or placed in any area that may become a hazard.
