What is the best way to tag large touristic sites (museums, theme parks, campsites) - where should I put the tags - name, type, fee etc. There are two options: Add tags to the area covering the whole site this has more logic in osm world, but it is less pracical
Add tags to the main entry/reception/box office It does not have the disadvantages mentioned before and helps navigation however
Some examples

I would add as many tags to area as possible. In addition to that I would simply add all entrances. In case it is not possible to add all information to area (different fees at different entrances) I would add some information to individual entrances. answered 09 Jul '12, 21:50 RM87 I did, but it has two disadvantages (see the first part of the question). If you look at the given example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.90183&lon=17.30796&zoom=17&layers=M than you see that there is no visual clue where the entry point / main information box is. You can only tell by experience, that it probably will be the big building on the nort east of the site.

This looks like the best solution. The wiki page for key

@gorn: About the visual clue for the entrance: At present Mapnik (the software that draws the map on openstreetmap.org) does not show entrances nodes. However, there is a feature request to at least show named entrances, which would solve the problem (if you give the entrance a name): https://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/3498

Why dont you name / tag the complete area (park, museum, theme park aso) after making a multipolygone around it and ad the gateways afterwards ? answered 14 Jul '12, 16:22 Hendrikklaas There are two disadvantages of doing so: 1. Icons denoting site are put in the center whereas on "normal" maps they are often placed at the main entry/reception/box office which helps navigation to the site greatly. 2. Automatic navigation can be confused and the visitor can find himeslf coming from very wrong direction. Please have a look at the given example http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.90183&lon=17.30796&zoom=17&layers=M - the icon of museum does not give any clue where I can enter the site.

Hi Gorn, Looks great, but is it Poland ? What about my suggestion using 'gate' for the the entrance ? Does nt the park / site has a code to pinpoint the mainentrance ? Succes Hendrik answered 15 Jul '12, 19:57 Hendrikklaas 1
Hi Hendrikklaas. No it is not Poland if it matters ;-) ... yes, in this particural case there is a gate so it is also marked. Still you should guess, that if there is a gate than it is probably an entrance. And there should not necessarily be one. I do not think it is a feasible solution, sorry ...
