We had no idea you had to have tickets to see the famous park area. When we arrived, they had sold out for the day and were only selling tickets for the following day. It was our last day in town, so we missed seeing it. You can enter the park itself, but there really isn't much to see if you don't have tickets to enter the section where the beautiful mosaic work is located. Buy tickets in advance!

You have to know exactly when you are hoping to go see the park. The tickets cannot simply be purchased at the gate, as they frequently sell out for each hour. So if you get there at noon, the next time you might be allowed to walk into the little plaza with the bench would be at 7 pm because all the other time spots have been sold. So plan your visit diligently. However, you can still visit most of the park for free at any time, just not the iconic bench area.

It tickets for early in the morning and in advance. The park fills up the later you go. Go early to get the best pictures and bring a lunch so you can stop and enjoy amongst the gardens (once you exit you can’t go back in)

Crazy busy and a pain to get to. All up hill. Take a taxi if you have a hard time walking uphill in the heat. You most likely may not get in. You have to book on line and choose a time that you can go!

Get tickets in advance. They limit the amount of people they let in to avoid over-crowding, which is awesome. We had advanced tickets and when we got there at 4pm they were already sold out for the day.

An absolutely fantastic place! Be prepared to spend some time there. Also, keep in mind you will have to book a time slot online yo make sure you get in there - a walk-in will likely not work as they only admit a likited number of people daily.
