It is a on foot experience and you should bring a friend.
Some parts of the deep woods are scary :)
I was desperately waiting for someone to come along with me, but had no luck. I just followed some residents, hopefully they didn't think I was stalking them.
I recommend taking some time to go on the cuddle boat ride and the barrel ride. Those provide a total overview of the sim inside and out.
So hold on to the one you love...or just love the one you're with.
