Climbed to the top twice w/ my daughter. $2 for all day pass a great deal. The climb itself is not difficult at all and fully enclosed. Unless you are deathly afraid of heights it should be OK for anyone fit enough for 200 steps or so.

The small admission price gains you access to what's left of the lighthouse keepers house. Of course the main thing is to climb to the top of the lighthouse. There is a cool view from there - you can see for miles.

We walked to the top of the lighthouse in just over 2 minutes. I believe it was 167 steps. The view was worth the climb. The canopy was breathtaking, not to mention the water.
