Pro tips

  • Parents

    KidsFest is a highlight for families, but note that the main restrooms don't have changing tables. Bring a portable changing pad for convenience.

  • Driving / parking

    Parking can be tricky. The main lot fills up fast, but there's a lesser-known lot on 72nd Street that's usually available and just a short walk away.
