Self-guided yard with stairs, narrow doorways, and gravel—closed-toe shoes and mindful pacing win.

Park cooldown

Shade break on a bench. Trade favorite finds + standout railcar, reset your water baseline.

12:45 PM

Head home

Soft playlist, hydration reminder, and a clean “what felt best?” before you turn back into real life.

1:15–1:30 PM

Siesta

Phones off, curtains drawn, debrief later if you’re splitting the afternoon.

Quick logistics

Mission location

Fulton Ranch Towne Center (2410 S Gilbert Rd, Suite C7). Park behind Backyard Taco if you want easier access.

Donation partner

Accessibility

Railcars require stairs and the yard is uneven gravel; spot each other and skip cars that don’t feel safe.

Pivots & backups

Heat / energy swap

Start at the museum right at 10:00 AM, then circle back to Mission once temps climb.

A/C rescue

Swap the park cooldown to Chandler Museum (free, 10 AM–5 PM) for indoor exhibits + HVAC relief.

Time squeeze

Keep the fair to a single loop, grab to-go coffee, and guard the siesta window.
