Wolf Trap National Park Insider Tips
- You can also tour the park for its history and beauty during the off season months but performances and the main attractions are May through September.
- Bring a picnic and grab a blanket. Save some money and save on lawn seats for a super enjoyable experience.
- There are size restrictions to the size of the cooler that you can bring in and they will be checked before you enter, so that line will take a little longer.
- Carts are available for transport from the parking area to the main stage on a one way only basis. After the performance, the carts are available on an as needed basis for those with accessibility issues.
- Wine is allowed to be brought in.
- Arrive two hours early to take in the sites and activities going on around the park.
