8-15-22 Landing is under construction so we had to park elsewhere and ride the trolley to get there. Staff didn't seem to know what a penny smashing machine was. We didn't take the tour so wasn't allowed on the boat. Can't confirm whether the machine was there or not. No answer when calling the number later. |
