Morning you will be fine getting in. there are guards at a entrance gate but they do not charge for entry or parking.

A:
You would need to get back in line to pay again. I believe the charge is minimal (around $4 USD). They did not charge us the day we went and I don’t know why as no one was charged …
You would need to get back in line to pay again. I believe the charge is minimal (around $4 USD). They did not charge us the day we went and I don’t know why as no one was charged in front of us either. Depending on what time of year you are arriving, 8 am may be cool so check weather prior to arrival. Have fun!
