This is a no brainer stop. Restrooms and information and the museum is free. Probably 16 minutes or so will do you.

Cute and unique museum - easy to get to - it's right by visitor center.
[Angie Wilkinson, 05/28/2016]Pencil Sharpener Museum
We rushed in the door of the Welcome Center six minutes before closing time on a Sunday. The less-then-happy worker told us the museum was already locked up for the day, but when she realized how far we traveled she relented and got the key for us. This is definitely worth a stop. The little museum is housed out back of the tourist info center. Look sharp!
