Educational Fee Waivers

*Please Note: Due to Covid-19 restrictions and shifting CDC recommendations, we are reviewing Academic Fee Waivers based on Covid-19 Community Level and on a case-by-case basis. Please email our fee division before confirming any plans.*

**FEE WAIVERS MUST BE COMPLETED TWO (2) WEEKS IN ADVANCE PRIOR TO VISITING; IF THEY ARE NOT COMPLETED BEFORE YOU ARRIVE YOU WILL BE CHARGED THE TEN ($10) DOLLARS PER ADULT ENTRANCE FEE. IF APPLYING FOR A FEE WAIVER DURING SPRING BREAK, PLEASE SEE TITLED SECTION BELOW.**

Schools or other bona fide educational institutions (accredited, officially recognized, or tax exempt for educational purposes) may request an educational fee waiver. The fee waiver will allow qualifying groups free entry into the park for educational or scientific purposes.

Fee Waiver Process

Tuzigoot National Monument is grouped with Montezuma Castle National Monument and Montezuma Well. You will only need to fill out one fee waiver to visit any one or all three of the sites.

State the educational purpose of your visit, i.e., what your group will be studying during their park visit. And additional pages if necessary. Be sure to include your itinerary! Indicate the date(s) and times you are planning to visit the park and include the number of students with the ages or grade levels and the number of adults that you will be bringing.

To begin the fee waiver process, please email our fee division.

Fee Waivers During Spring Break

During the last week of February through the first week of May, the park shifts to Spring Break Operations. During this very busy time, parking is extremely limited and lines to enter the park stretch to the parking lot. Due to this high volume of visitation and to ensure staff and visitor safety, the parking lot will be closed to all large vehicles (including RVs, trailers, and buses) between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Due this closure, the park will ONLY be granting Fee Waivers for visits between the hours of 8:00 a.m. through 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. through 4:45 p.m. Groups that visit the park outside the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. are expected to exit the park by 10 a.m. / 5:00 p.m.; respectively. This closure is in effect for Montezuma Well as well. Please email the park if you have any questions.
