What a cool experience!
Bring ones and quarters as the ride ticket is exact cash only. There is an exchange machine available. The history was awesome. The details in the wood carvings were beautiful, I was in awe of the craftsmanship. At the top there is a very small gift shop as well as a self guided tour of the machine area. The self guided tour is fifty cents...again bring quarters. At the top there is also a outside view area perfect for pictures.
This place is a true gem that is ran just off the monies brought in...no subsidies from city or state. Buy something at the gift shop to make sure they continue to operate for plenty more years!
