What a visit costs your group
| Group, summer 2026 | At the gate | Cheapest with a pass | Plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| US-resident couple, by car | $35 | $80 | Add parks |
| Nonresident couple, by car | $235 | $250 | Add parks |
| Nonresident family (2 adults, 2 kids), by car | $235 | $250 | Add parks |
| Two nonresident adults, on foot or shuttle | $240 | $250 | Add parks |
For a single visit, paying at the gate is usually cheaper than the $250 Non-Resident Annual Pass unless your group has three or more adults. Add a second surcharge park and the pass wins. How the nonresident fee works.
