Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light begins around 17:31, creating a warm glow over the park before the sun dips below the horizon at 18:17.

End the evening with dinner at Fi Real. This Caribbean restaurant is open until 22:00 on weekdays, providing a warm place to unwind after the cool evening air.
