They are taking donations on their facebook page with proceeds going to their school. Otherwise it's totally free to visit. It's advisable to bring your own small ladder to get some cool shots. We were lucky enough to use someone elses. We also had our daughter take some shots off the roof of our SUV. Supervised of course. It was about 35 minutes from Milwaukee and the views are pretty awesome. They ask that you don't cross the ropes and some have damaged the sunflowers immediately in the first few rows carving smiles or other symbols on them. The sunflowers themselves range from under 5 feet to over 8 feet which is why I recommend a ladder. It was a nice country drive and a chance to get some fresh air. We really enjoyed visiting.
