Getting around: Legends lists assistance arranging local transportation. Reserve a rental or round-trip service covering the museum, the chosen restaurant and the airport return; specific vehicle availability and fees remain unconfirmed.
Return plan: Arrange the return ride or rental return before leaving the airport. Allow independent margins for road traffic, fuel, aircraft checks, weather and daylight; shorten or skip the optional stop when necessary. The 4–6-hour ground visit is an editorial suggestion, not a flight schedule.
Season: Museum closed Thanksgiving and Christmas. Outdoor grounds are weather-dependent; galleries and campus may have event or construction changes.
