Most seniors who are able to get to the parks can afford to pay an entrance fee. It is ridiculous to see huge 100,000 dollar RVs entering the park without paying a cent for the damage they are doing to the park or for the enjoyment they are having in the park.

I am 63 years old and remember going there many times as a child. I took my own children there as an adult. The displays there are excellent, especially the one of the mountain and its glaciers and rivers. I hope it can stay open; closing that center would be a REAL shame.
