We bought a parking pass online, and we are from Massachusetts. It was 30.00 for the season for Senior Citizens and I believe 60.00 for everyone else. They use your license plate as ID, and you drive through center gate and a machine scans your plates and opens the gate.
Is there a fee for each person on a Monday? Is there also a parking fee for weekdays.
