Before you go
- Parking costs about $2 an hour and lots fill up early on nice weekends, often by mid-morning, so plan to arrive early.
- The terrace gardens have stairs, so you will need to plan your stroller route around them to stick to the wide paved and gravel paths.
- If you are planning a professional portrait session, you must book and pay for an approved photo permit in advance, starting around $100.
