Entrance is about $12 for non-resident adults. Educational (though biased towards the U.S.) musuem, & theater inside. There is also a restaurant if you get hungry, although we did not eat there. Wonderful viewing platforms and bi-lingual "narrarator" to tell you all the details involved in getting ships through the canal. more
