Why didn't you pay? Is it because you expect to get the discount?
You can always pay and then get the money back when you get the discount

You can start from the bottom and turn around (recommended when with kids). Within  About twenty minutes in is all the main waterfalls

I recommend it! Great Trail for adults and kids alike. Wear waterproof shoes but not crocs. For kids it might be  a drop challenging, has some hard to walk spots where the water comes on the rocks and makes the rocks slippery. Its the summer so there might not be so much water though.
