What was checked & what still needs confirmation

Hours page is inconsistent (both 'Open daily 10 a.m.–5 p.m.' and 'Open 10 a.m.–5 p.m. six days a week. Closed Tuesdays.'); the events calendar shows 'closed today' entries on several dates Oct 20–Dec 25. Discount page also shows a separate, older-looking price block ($19.91 / $11) apparently for a partner offer; standard prices taken from the tickets page. Miniature Railroad 'Locomotion Weekend Sat., Jan. 17 and Sun., Jan. 18' is last season's weekday pattern and outside window – not recorded.
