Currently, you have to make reservations to enter the park. As noted, they're usually all booked ahead of time on the weekends. I've had no problem making reservations the day of on weekdays.
Yes, you get screened first, they ask you if you have a reservation but if you don't, they let you in anyway if there is room
Yes. You can get tickets at the gate. Costco (San Diego) used to offer discount tickets to the park.
You have make reservations covid-19 protocol 😷
I think so
You have to go through a health screening first. It can take anywhere from 30 to 60 min on the weekend and 10 - 45 on a weekday. Make sure you make your ticket reservation before to head to the park. Most weekends they sell out before they open. So plan ahead.
