The park also issues four Interagency passes that may be used to waive entrance fees at other federal parks and facilities. These passes are:

• Access Pass
• Annual Military Pass

• 4th Grade Pass.

All four passes are available at the Jockey Hollow Visitor Center as well as the Washington's Headquarters Museum in Morristown. They are FREE of charge to those qualified.
