How about international visitors? Since they don’t pay taxes to help maintain the park should they have to pay a higher entrance fee?

It is nicer to ask for an (additional) donation.

For example, the British Museum is free, but the donation box when leaving points out that its paid for by taxes. I've seen international tourists making significant donations (e.g. £30+ for a family) recognising what visiting a similar museum would cost in their own country. But I like that a student from a low-income country can still visit the museum, and I'm happy for taxes to cover the cost.
