Planning a trip to Devils Tower National Monument for academic or scientific reasons?
You may be eligible for a fee waiver.
We can typically provide students with a specially scheduled curriculum-based educational program during the spring and fall while visiting here (staffing dependent).
Most winters, our staff travels to area schools and facilitates in-class educational programs.
To find out more details about current "In Park" and/or "In Classroom" education programs facilitated by National Park Service Staff, shoot us an email or give a quick call:

If it does not work for a National Park Service-facilitated education program while on your field trip, you can always just go for a self-guided experience with your students.
Please note: Only bona fide educational or scientific institutions are eligible for a fee waiver. You must submit documentation as proof of your institution’s status.
Your application must include the following:
