Free, but make sure you go to the visitor's center first to sign up for the free tour! We were able to take pics on the outside but didn't get tickets for the tour inside cause we didn't know, and we didn't want to walk back there and walk back! But outside pics on the porch are nice!

If you like there is a number of restaurants you can go to the Soup Shop Restaurant Salt and Sweet restaurant just to name a few I found around that area I'm sure there are plenty more. They dont have eating establishments at king center. But if you travel around you will surely find a nice restaurant that will hopefully accommodate your needs.

Contact the King Historical District National Park Service. The group normally is 18 to 20 so they will ask you to split up large groups. It is important to schedule large groups so that can accommodate you. The earlier you schedule it the better.
