A good heat-day guide prioritizes shade, indoor time and an easy exit over trying to make a full-day itinerary sound impressive.
Start with the coolest hours
Add Jean’s tested early-morning option, an indoor midday stop and a simple treat or meal. Include the date and temperature range when the plan was tried.
Check access before leaving
Link to current hours or reservation pages and note parking, bathrooms, age fit and how long families can reasonably expect to stay.
