Family plans should be easy to enter, easy to leave, and clear about bathrooms, food, weather, and parking.

- Pick food before the main stop.
Adult plans work best with one timed anchor and a nearby place for food or a walk.

Groups need one clear meet-up point and a plan that still works if people arrive late.
