Entrance - Per Person - $3 |
When park visitors 16 and up buy tram or movie tickets, $3.00 of their ticket price goes to the National Park Service (entrance fee). Therefore, if visitors have an America the Beautiful National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass, they do not have to pay that $3.00 fee and they effectively get a $3.00 "discount" on the tram ride to the top and the documentary movie. If you wish to browse in the Museum and Visitor Center, there is no entrance fee. |
Documentary Movie - $7 |
How did they build it? Come see the award-winning film Monument to the Dream and find out!

The film is a half hour long, and America the Beautiful park pass holders get a $3 discount. |
