The National Park Service has created several opportunities for free or reduced price tickets to both schools and community groups.
Community Access Ticket Program: Approximately 5,000 tickets annually are provided to community organizations through the Community Access Ticket Service. Ticket requests must be made directly to CATS if you meet the selection criteria.
