Planning your time before or after a Microtorium show
Because many attractions around Microtorium are within about 200–600 meters, you can often walk instead of moving your car once you are parked for your event. Shorter-distance options like Cooter's Place, Bungee Jump, and The Track Family Entertainment Center are easier to fit into a tight schedule, while multi-stop visits to The Island area work better when you have several hours free.
For each attraction, verify current hours, age or height requirements, and any separate ticketing directly with the operator or through a current map or booking service before you leave for your show.
