### Quiet Times to Visit

The organizers say crowds usually thin out in the last two hours of each day, so late afternoon is the time to come if you want room to browse. Keep in mind the box office stops selling tickets an hour before closing, so buy online if you plan to arrive late. Friday has the bonus of free parking after 4 pm.
