    Category 10 (formerly Wild Horse Saloon)

    End the evening with a drink at Category 10. The rooftop deck is open late and offers a place to unwind after the sunset view.

Local tip

Check the route from the museum to the park, as the walk takes about 27 minutes. The park is a large open space, so find a spot with a clear view of the west before the crowd gathers.
