There are some shops selling snacks outside but not sure if there have vegan food. Suggest you pack some from the convenient store elsewhere before you proceed there.

I would suggest Garden of Morning Calm first above anything else because it won't be too hot in the morning. The place is pretty big and open. I had 1.5 hours to visit here and even then it's not really enough (for me at least). Would love at least 2 hours. Nami Island should be next and you can easily spend 2 hours or more here. There are many paths on the island for you to explore. If you stay on the main paths, 2 hours will suffice but if you explore all the paths, you'd need more time for sure. Petite France, if you have not visited before, you should visit it once but personally, on my first visit there, it's a small French-themed village and other than having lots of pretty pictures opportunity, wasn't too impressed by it. The whole place can be covered in 30 minutes if you breeze by and if you stop for photo taking, I'd say 1.5 hours is good enough.

Hello. My response may be a few months late, but the best way is to keep track of weather forecast from time to time. If there's snow, they might still play the light show which is still pretty.

Going on your own is better because you decide how long you want to stay. The place is very nice and huge so you need about 3 or 4 hours maybe more to see all. We did not see all of it because we lack time.

Throughout the 4 seasons, flowers are in bloom but of different types. There are a lot more to see in the Garden of the morning Calm not only flowets. If you are a nature lover, this place is for you.

Tulips aren’t in full bloom yet. The first time i went to Garden of the Morning Calm last year was first week of May and the tulips were all in full bloom. I hope this helps. 😊

Personally, anytime on a fine day is a good time! Mornings, as in many instances, may mean less people?
