DescVisitor Services: designed to provide information services, process membership benefits, coordinate tour groups, perform introductory lectures, assist with special events and collect entrance fees. Staff monitors multiple park entry points as well as information desks located throughout the park. The ticketing process remained mostly as an online, advanced purchase ticketing system that had been implemented several years earlier in order to maintain a safe environment; with members permitted to visit anytime during the week as a perk. In 2025, we welcomed over 200,000 visitors. GFS is committed to equitable access and welcoming in the community through its partnership with both Art-Reach ACCESS and Families First Discovery Pass programs in which over 5,300 free admission tickets were issued.
