Fees & Passes

No entrance pass required

An entrance pass is not required to access Pipestone National Monument.

Other National Park Service sites may require an entrance pass or fee. Depending on your trip plans, an interagency pass may save you money.

No passes are required for admission, parking, or activities within the park. The park offers all free passes (Active Duty, Accessibility, Every Kid Outdoors, Gold Star & Veteran). We do not offer the passes that cost money (America the Beautiful and Senior Passes).

Admission, parking, tours, programs, and special events are all free.
