Quieter times and space

  • While we cannot guarantee certain times will be slower than others, the early morning (9:00 to 11:00 a.m.) and late afternoon (3:00 to 5:00 p.m.) on weekdays tend to be less busy.
  • To find a quiet space, dim space, or seating area, use this family-friendly map as a guide.
