Busy Visiting Periods and Driving Rules on the Farm Grounds
Parking pressure is higher when the museum’s limited spaces are being used by visitors and members at the same time. The museum operates year-round, so the need for a space is not restricted to a short summer season (Indigo Neo). Drivers visiting during popular programming or seasonal farm activities should plan for the possibility that the on-site area may be occupied.
Use the designated paid parking area rather than treating nearby farm ground as overflow space. The museum’s parking system requires licence-plate registration for paid on-site parking (Ingenium), so drivers should complete that step when paying at the property.
