We recommend purchasing tickets ahead of time on line. Even same day. The lines can get long, and if you buy them on line, you walk right to the front. It takes about 3-5 hours to see everything. If you get the family membership for $200 it included 2 adults and 4 kids AND discounts on food, rides, and souvenirs.

Neighborhoods
Excellent little area for shops, restaurants, and bars. The nightlife is spectacular on the weekends and a little more quiet during the weekdays. Most bars and restaurants allow you to get To-Go cups (purple solo cups), and you can walk downtown with them. Just remember to stay in the marked zones. You can check out the CozyCottageHSV Insta page for more details.

Traveler advice
Getting around
Uber
There are Ubers from the airport into town, and the drive is only about 15 minutes. They seem to be readily available but may be less available if there are large events at the Orion Amphitheater.
