4/8/2024 unfortunately the provided pennies are from 2013 (Zinc).
The Clock Tower came out a little off center the first time. But was fine the second.
Not sure why but there is a weird wave on the back. I think the machine is a little weird.
7/13/2026 Machine was flashing red where you enter the dollar bills. Machine would not accept money. Staff said it was working last week. The lady was so kind to give me change and sell me the pennies (which were a $1 each) from an envelope she had behind the ticket booth. So nice and so thankful
parking is $5 if you park in the lot across the building. If you can a spot behind the admission building it's.30 minutes only. No admission needed. |
