Q:
is it possible to enter the park multiple times on one ticket? go in the morning, leave and return later the same day?

We use power chairs and were able to view most of the site. The trails are hard packed soil. Unless it is very wet you should be fine. The trail leads to a large grassy open area. If you are in a manual chair you may need a push as the initial access ramp is quite steep. There are several trails that would be very accessable and some with quite steep stairs which will not be accessable. I would say a couple of km in total. Most of the site can be viewed from a 2-300 m walk though. It is fascinating and we enjoyed it immensely! Good luck.
