Yes this year they are back to "normal" so you can get into the park and walk around, please check the website for days and hours and if there are any special events
Entrance to the ride area is free. You do have to pay to ride and will have to pay to get into the water park.
You are welcome to walk around in the park. If you want to do the water, you will have to purchase a ticket.
