Wear comfortable shoes for walking through the outdoor areas and download an audio guide app to enrich the experience; I recommend IAudioguia for tours in Spanish. Buy tickets online to avoid lines and check the weather, since part of the visit is outdoors. If you are traveling with family, there are interactive activities for children.
