The parking lot fills by late morning and crowds build noticeably after 11am, making early arrival essential for summer visits.
Budget $37 for non-resident parking
Non-residents pay $37 for day parking, while Nassau County residents pay $15, making this one of the pricier.
Bring your own food and drinks
The concession stand offers limited options and may not be open early in the season, so pack supplies.
