Admission is completely free. Parking at the National Museum is complimentary. While the playground has limited facilities, the adjacent museum offers restrooms, cafes, and air-conditioned spaces for cooling down.

Most comfortable during cooler months (November to March). Summer months (June to August) can be extremely hot with temperatures exceeding 40°C (104°F), making outdoor play challenging even in shaded areas. Plan accordingly and prioritize very early morning or evening visits in summer.
