To manage the large number of visitors, we offer a Free Priority Photo Pass, which allows visitors to reserve a specific arrival time slot. The wait time for visitors with a reservation is typically around 10 minutes on weekdays and 25 minutes on weekends. The Free Priority Photo Pass is available at no cost ($0) to visitors, and there is no group size limit. However, please note that wait times may vary depending on actual sidewalk congestion. We recommend checking our system for the most up-to-date wait times before your visit.
