Tips from local experts:

  • Bring a fully charged smartphone and a pair of wired or Bluetooth headphones to play the audio guide — the exhibition is designed around the audio commentary.
  • Dress in layers and wear comfortable, non-slip shoes; the plant interior can be cool and may have slightly damp surfaces near viewing areas.
  • Allow the full hour for the audio tour and add 10–15 minutes extra if you wish to use the café or visit restrooms before departing; parking is free on site.
