It depends on your energy level and time constraint.I go frequently with my grandchildren \.We do 3-4 hours depending on the programs(EXCELLENT)scheduled.A lunch break is helpful in their spacious cafeteria (buy or bring).Plan on more time than you scheduled.Always a fine experience for ALL ages.

You could easily spend the entire day. We got there around 11 and stayed until closing (actually, a little after because the laser light show we saw didn’t start until 5:45 p.m.).
