To help prevent the spread of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus), Grandfather Mountain has moved admission online, meaning guests must purchase their tickets and book their visit online. Only a select number of tickets will be sold per day for certain time-slots to limit the number of guests in the park at one time.
On weekdays only, a limited number of tickets may be available for purchase at the Entrance Gate, although guests are strongly encouraged to book online to guarantee their availability.
As of now, reservations are only available through Nov. 30, 2021.
Each guest entering the park must have a ticket, which includes a time-slot. Prices are as follows:
Adult: $22
Senior (age 60+): $20
Child (ages 4-12): $9
AAA Adult: $20 (must present valid AAA card)
AAA Child: $8 (must present valid AAA card)
Bridge Club members will continue to receive complimentary admission, per their membership agreement, and are not required to book a time-slot. Members must present a valid Bridge Club membership card upon arrival. Without a valid Bridge Club membership card, guests must pay full price. To join the Bridge Club, please visit https://grandfather.com/product/bridge-club-membership/.
Proceeds from admission tickets benefit the Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and protecting the park for future generations.
From Oct. 1-25, tickets will be sold from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with the parking closing at 7 p.m. Starting Oct. 26, tickets will be sold from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with the park closing at 5 p.m.
Opening dates, availability and operating procedures are subject to change.
