What's the admission to get in and is it open? What's the hours?

So your saying to buy my tickets in advance? See I'm in ky 3 hrs away n I just want to know before going

9am - 5pm daily but you must register for a time online when purchasing your ticket. I recently went and though they did let you purchase tickets there, if they are at capacity you will have to stand in line to wait to enter. If you have a time scheduled and your tickets, you have already been counted into the total and may walk right in without waiting.

I recommend checking the website. Our tickets were $16.95 when they reopened. I'm told that more exhibits and the splash pad are now open. They were not when we visited in May.
