Creation Universe (Josh0108's edition)/How to visit

**Creation Universe** is a great place for a family vacation full of fun, imagination, and memories. But many who visit there seem to spend more money, time, and effort than they need to. Here is a guide to help you get the most of your money and time while having fun.

1. **Determine when you want to go.** As the parent, you should decide the best time for your family to visit the park. "Off-peak times", such as the fall and certain times in the spring, offer cheaper rates and fewer lines, but you might have to take the kids out of school and the weather may not be ideal. If your children might have a hard time keeping up, consider going over a break, when your children will miss less school. Keep in mind, then there might be more lines. If you decide to take your children out of school, ask if you can have some or all of the homework beforehand, so they can do it on the plane or in the car. A good idea as to when to go to Creation Universe with kids if you are not keen about missing school is in August. School is still out for summer vacation, but Creation Universe considers this to be 'off-peak'. Be prepared to deal with the heat if you're visiting in Anaheim and Orlando.
2. **Decide how long you are going to stay.** Creation Universe recommends a three-day stay. Keep in mind that there are 8 themed lands, a separate shopping area, and all of the resort. Some families take 2-4 days to do it all, fitting in at least 1 day to "rest".
3. **Check at which area you think is age-appropriate for your child.** When visiting, check your child's age. There are some attractions that require a certain age to go on.
4. **Always check the ride safety signs** at the entrances, as some attractions have a height restriction, and some require a child between certain ages to be accompanied by an adult. These rules are in place for your safety and enjoyment. *Not following the safety rules could result in injury or death (and refusal to follow them may result in offenders being escorted from the park).*
5. **Buy your tickets, if possible, before arrival.** You can get tickets from the Creation Universe website or get them at the parks.
6. **Choose what you want to do each day.** There are 8 themed areas and more to keep in mind. You may want to make a plan so that you know where to go on each day.
7. **Arrive early in the parks.** They usually open at about 8am, but there are Fun Time Hours. At the Check-In Desk for a Creation Hotel, there will be maps and a Times Guide. In a Creation Hotel, you can also look on your TV. It has all the day's info.
8. **Be aware of incidents.** Incidents may happen in all areas of the park. When you see an incident, call 911 first, and then the Creation Universe Security Center. Be sure to state your personal information, the area, the Creation Universe you're at, and the attraction in which the incident occurred.
9. **Quick-Entry** allows you to avoid long lines at the attractions on which the system is installed, allowing to enjoy other attractions during their wait. Just pay once, and you'll get all the attractions that support Quick-Entry!
