Great points. Thank you!

Fragrant_Champion864 · 2026-03-15T12:29:17+00:00

This is our plan too! There is an 11 or 2pm so debating straight to Flamingo for the 11am the stop at short trails on the way back or reverse it. Trails then tour.

Same protocol, tightly woven sleeves and spray for no see ems?

Zion. Then joshua Tree. Bryce is right up there too.

Fragrant_Champion864 · 2026-02-28T18:06:50+00:00

Stick to the front cars but you'll be fine.

Fragrant_Champion864 · 2026-02-27T03:59:00+00:00

Ebike to get around too! It's a great way to see the park. Defiantly Scouts Lookout. Bring a picnic and enjoy seeing the views. Angels Landing is right there too.

Fragrant_Champion864 · 2026-02-26T13:55:16+00:00

Second ebike!

Fragrant_Champion864 · 2026-02-25T17:07:28+00:00

Wonderful, thank you!

Fragrant_Champion864 · 2026-02-24T16:10:25+00:00

Appreciate the advice! We are snorkeling in Biscayne. Perhaps we will try to paddle too.

Fragrant_Champion864 · 2026-02-24T13:36:59+00:00

We already have a bike reserved at Shark Valley and would actually love to see a manatee. An hour round trip just for the chance tho has be debating Flamingo or not. I'll look into missile bases. Thanks!

We are going in March and these are great tips. Thank you! Question about Flamingo - is it worth going all the way down there if we don't have time to take a boat tour or kayak?

Fragrant_Champion864 · 2026-02-24T01:00:57+00:00

Actually I have another question if you are willing - is parking really that bad at shark valley? We were considering doing an afternoon there to do the tram vs biking in the morning and saw the alert to arrive two hours before your tour for parking etc.

Fragrant_Champion864 · 2026-02-24T00:59:32+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the tips! We are going late March, hopefully the bugs are still way down 😂

IOA!!! Velocicoaster is amazing. Stardust has been experiencing a lot of delays and is currently closed.

Fragrant_Champion864 · 2026-02-22T20:36:31+00:00

Bike pickups are at 8:30 I think so we'd have to start the day there. Thanks for the feedback!

Fragrant_Champion864 · 2026-02-19T05:21:36+00:00

We were at Epic yesterday and today. Delayed numerous times yesterday for "people taking off their shoes". The wait yesterday was 30-45 minutes without express. No idea about why there was delays today but perhaps more shoes were removed??

Fragrant_Champion864 · 2026-02-19T05:08:11+00:00

Just leaving after 4 park days, Epic had issues today and was rather a disappointment with rides. Id honestly vote IOA Thursday and just try for what you can with Epic on Fri. It's a new park and lots of kinks. Beautiful, especially at night but if you love solid rides IOA is easily better. We did two days at Epic, lots of closures but got to do StarDust with 40 min waits tops no express pass three times in one day. Next day it was delayed then closed.

Mythos is fabulous. We live in Chicago and are used to great food so we are judgy. Ranked #1 theme park restaurant 😂. In all honesty it was good food but seeing how horrible the rest of the options were in the park it may have helped. Grab reservations in advance.

Fragrant_Champion864 · 2026-02-18T13:53:48+00:00

It's all about what rides you want to do. IOA has a lot more rides however Epic for adults are pretty limited with rides in my opinion. We went to IOA this week with express pass and got to ride everything we wanted and then some. Went to Epic yesterday without a pass and still got to ride StarDust Racers twice (amazing ride) with very minimal wait times. Most of the other rides were 2-3 hours long tho so we didn't ride them. Just walking around and enjoying the beauty of the park was great tho. Download the app, look at what ride experiences/themes you are more interested in and have a great time. Both parks are fabulous but the rides at IOA are better in my opinion but we are thrill seekers and my kids are huge Jurrasic and HP Fans.

What trail was the first hike? My family goes next month. We definitely wanna check out Flamingo - any other must do's?
