What to double-check before you go exploring

Before building a detailed plan around a specific attraction, verify whether there are any posted rules, seasonal changes, or scheduled events that might affect your visit. For restaurants and cafes near The Milton Theatre, confirm opening hours and whether they accept reservations directly with each place so you do not cut it too close to showtime. If you are using these attractions to fill time before picking up tickets or entering the venue, allow a buffer to walk back to Union Street and complete any theatre check-in steps.
