You don't pay to see it. I like that you're on your own. My brother said it's currently under construction, so they might be adding stuff like that, but I liked it in it's previous state. Really nice spot to enjoy the historic sculpture and fish and eat."

They are getting ready to build a new visitor center there. Shop was closed at 2 pm for some reason. Only downside while I was there. Please stop and experience this classic Americana."
