If you’re not able to attend at 12:30, please bring only one car per family, carpool if you can, and leave yourself plenty of time to park and make it into the building.

Another way you can serve our visitors, families with children, and those with limited mobility is by parking in our back lot. Pick up a Willing to Walk hanger at Guest Services, hang it on your rearview mirror, and our Parking Team will know to send you to the back lot.
