I could not find any warnings saying the funicular was closed online. It is a bit of a walk otherwise (especially if you have a not so great knee).

At a minimum, the funicular will be open to the public during daylight hours on weekends, holidays year-round, and every day beginning Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.
