There are two ways to enter the National Park, one is via the Mall, park downstairs and go to the top floor, entry is though the food court.	When leaving the food court, you will be on a long, long ramp to the Park. Rest rooms are available in the food court area to the left of the ramp.	From the ramp you can get an overview of the Park and the layout of the tracks; and see many older engines and cars.
