Do they charge you to get into the park to go to the Museum? We were there several years ago and they did not charge us if we were going to the museum. This year they wanted to charge us to enter the park to just go to the museum. Very disappointed that they wanted to charge us as we had traveled 180 miles with 4 couples. Need a coupon that could be printed off and presented or have an app to show.

Unfortunately, the museum is inside the park. I did have to pay to get in the park but the museum is included in the fee. Check their website to see if there are exceptions.
