When we went in Feb, they wouldn't let anyone in until like 5 min to 8. We were there at 7:30 and had a bit of a long wait, but it was sort of neat because only one other family was there at the time. When they finally let us in, there was a short wait, but only 5-8 groups at most. We were first ones in and got great empty street shots with the hat and then got picked for first family of the day at H&V!
