I'm planning a visit to the Swan Boats for a school group of 30 children (ages 7-10) and 5 chaperones on a weekday in late May 2025. I need to know the total cost for our group, the specific operating hours for late May, and the latest time we can book our group in advance. Given the information on the website, what's the best advice regarding potential wait times for a school group like ours, and what are the accepted payment methods for group rates?
Navigate to 'swanboats.com'. Click on the 'Plan Your Visit' link. Identify the 2025 season operating hours for late May. Determine the ticket price for children (age 7-10) and adults (chaperones). Calculate the total cost for 30 children and 5 adults. Click on the 'Bring a Group' link. Identify the latest time a group can book in advance on weekdays. Find information regarding wait times for school groups. Identify the accepted payment methods for group rates. Synthesize all collected information to answer the user's questions about total cost, operating hours, latest booking time, advice on wait times, and accepted payment methods.
State the operating hours for late May 2025 as '10:00 AM – 4:00 PM'. State the child ticket price (age 2-15) as '$3.25'. State the adult ticket price as '$4.75'. Calculate the total cost for 30 children and 5 adults as $121.25 (30 * $3.25 + 5 * $4.75). State that groups can book in advance on weekdays between '10am and 3pm', so the latest time is 3 PM. Advise that wait times may be longer for school groups, especially during late May and early June, and to plan for a short wait of about 5 to 15 minutes. State that accepted payment methods for group rates are 'cash, check, or card'.
