Pro-tip: Running late for class? Don't waste time paying for parking. Get your kid changed and in class ASAP then you can walk outside and do the parking rigamarole. Beautiful walk too.
Until the parking situation improves you should try to get here at least an hour to 45 minutes early to compete with other Baleen families, The House of Air, Indoor Rock Climbing, and park visitors!!!
During Federal government shutdown, parking area out toward Warming Hut closed, everyone using lot around La Petite Baleen, so parking is really tough. Plan accordingly.
Go to the warming hut after class for cocoa or coffee, but get there before 5pm on Saturdays or you're outta luck. Also, catch the Let's Be Frank cart for great dogs before 5pm.
