 Vicksburg, MS. – Starting on January 1, 2017, Vicksburg National Military Park will increase entrance fees for visitors in order to fund important maintenance and improvement projects within the park.

 

	Annual Pass	Vechicle Pass	Per Person	Motorcycle
Current Cost	$25	$12	$5	$7
New Cost	$30	$15	$5	$7

The park has only modified the annual pass and vehicle prices. 
 
Entrance fees have supported a wide range of projects that improved the park and visitor experience, including the solar lighting in the visitor center parking lot and the exhibits and the video program in the park Visitor Center.  Revenue from this fee increase will support deferred maintenance needs such as improving the restrooms, replacing worn out exhibit panels, and repairing and painting cannon carriages.
