Answer 1

Undoubtedly your best option would be to rent a car for the day if you can. Assuming there are more than 2 of you, it would be far cheaper than any other option and give you the most flexibility. The tour service Jit links you to charges $53 per person, but that includes the admission fee ($28 adult, $17.50 kids 3-11) and round trip transportation, so it's really not too bad as long as there aren't too many of you. Another option is one of the local shuttle services. I'd recommend Xpress shuttle, because I know they have 2 for 1 and family rates. Usually their prices are for a one way shuttle, so you might want to check with them about a round trip package. Their website is at www.xpressshuttle.com, but I'd call them directly at 1 800 900-7433 since their website has no specific information on package deals.
