You should also be aware of the business hours in advance before visiting a place, as well as any restrictions they might have about entry or age limits. Calling in advance to book or reserve a space when you have a big group of guests is always a smart move. Lastly, make sure they provide all the facilities and supplies you need, such as swimwear, or prepare to carry your own items.
