We have a lot of things to do so to give you choices and flexibility. If you are able to get to everything featured in the guidebook we'd love to know about your experience!!

11: Is it a ride or a guided tour?

No, the Go Card is more like a ticket to be used for the attraction admissions. The included color guidebook will help you find your way, but please keep in mind that you’ll need to coordinate your own transportation to and from each attraction..
