We were there at the beginning of Feb and bought tickets at the entrance. But, buying on line a day or two before does give extra assurance. That goes for many of the attractions and national parks in Costa Rica. Guides are the one thing it is wise to arrange in advance.
Throughout the park are there benches to rest on or can scooter/elec wheelchair be rented?

Is ut safe to park in their parking lot with suitcases inside? We are driving from Sjo to La Fortuna. This garden is the midpoint between the two cities. However, I don't want to stop if my car window would be smashed. Don't want my trip to get ruined on Day 1. Please advise. TIA.

From memory there were parking attendants arranging parking who I'm sure would keep an eye. La Paz is also not close to a town/city so I would have thought unlikely to cause issue. Also as there is accommodation alongside you might be able to store your luggage securely at reception, might be worth contacting them in advance to ask.
