• Seek shade and take breaks: When the sun is scorching, find shade under trees, pavilions, or cool down in one of our pools or splash pads to give yourself a break from direct sun. Take regular breaks to rest and cool down, especially during the hottest hours of the day.
• Dress: Opt for lightweight, breathable clothing that provides proper ventilation and protects you from the sun. Hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen with a high SPF are essential to shield yourself from harmful UV rays.
• Stay safe, stay cool, and make unforgettable memories!
