Wearing light-colored family outfits makes photos stand out; prepare small props for kids (hats, sunglasses) to add fun to photos. - Safety: Wear life jackets during the boat ride, watch the kids carefully, and don’t let them run around on the boat; watch your step on walking paths as some surfaces may be slippery. - Food: There are few dining options inside the scenic area, prepare snacks and drinking water for kids in advance.
