Q:
Is this museum wheelchair accessible?
A:
Yes. The big room has stairs to access but you can come in through another door that has a ramp.
Q:
Is there ample parking

There is no dedicated parking for the museum. We found parking about a block or two away. And the walk was enjoyable.
Q:
Will there be a long line/wait if we get there at 10am on a Sat in October with tickets purchased online?

I doubt a long line. We were there during the summer and the wait was 10 min. They are good at getting the crowd moving.
Q:
Is this open year round?
A:
Yes, we are open year round.
Q:
About how long does it take for all the presentations?
A:
About 40 minutes then a walk through the rest of the exhibits. An hour and a half should see you in and out. I found it interesting but each to their own.
