Entertainment & Activities
If you use the toll roads which I highly recommend because they are always faster, from our home it is 37 minutes gps, but you will need to allow time for parking and ticketing before you enter the park. If you don't use the toll roads it is closer to 45-50 minutes based on traffic. It is always best to get there early.
