Single vehicle rate: $1 weekdays/$2 weekends

Commercial bus rate: $25 for small buses (seating capacity of 25 or less)

The City of Albuquerque honors all valid Federal Lands Passes. There are no entrance fees for other areas within Petroglyph National Monument. Commercial fees are charged by the City of Albuquerque. Please phone the Open Space Visitor Center at [phone] for rate information.
