Positives:

  • Free Public Access: Most outdoor areas and The Hive interior are open to visitors at no cost.
  • Safe Green Space: Wide paths and well-maintained gardens are ideal for young children.

Challenges:

  • Heat and Humidity: Midday sun can be strong. Plan for shaded breaks and drink more water.
  • Walking Distances: The campus is large. Little legs may tire—use the shuttle for longer legs.
