    I'm a local resident and because my grandson and his partner are visiting we went to see the Hervey Bay Historical Village & Museum today. We were charged a $15:00 admission fee per adult. The admission fee advertised here is $10:00 for adults and $3:00 for children and $0:00 for preschoolers. I challenged this price, but was told that the admission fee was $15:00 each because "We are all volunteers here." Hopefully there s no confusion on price for anyone else.
