If u travel by bus to Zhouzhuang, it will drop u at the bus station which is 2 km from the old town. U can take an easy 20 minutes walk or take a rickshaw into the town.
The entrance tickets for Zhouzhuang are in a package of RMB60. This includes fees to 11 sights. Zhouzhuang is not big and is best explored on foot. U can buy a map for RMB3.
Most visitors come in the morning and leave in the afternoon. So, the place can be really crowded in the day. Try to avoid weekends. U can also stay overnight to see the town's famous dawn and sunset. But the sights will be closed at 5pm.
