Audio quality was sharper than usual for this kind of ticket. even though it was a busy day. (Would pair nicely with a light lunch nearby.)

Clear signage when we arrived. Views exceeded our expectations, would recommend budgeting a little buffer after for souvenirs. (Weekday visit lined up neatly with transit.)

Entry was quicker than websites suggested. Seating/rest spots helped older travelers in our group, matching what friends told us—but better in person.
