Grand Canyon Park Passes
Park Passes are required for every visitor aged 16 and older at the Grand Canyon National Park. Why is Purchasing a Park Pass at Buck Wild BEFORE entering the Grand Canyon recommended? Well, because of a few reasons:
- Cash is NOT accepted at the Grand Canyon National Park Entrance Gates or at the Automated Fee Machines located in Tusayan.
- Cash IS accepted at Buck Wild for Park Pass Purchases.
- Purchasing a Park Pass at the Gate takes more time for YOU, and extends the wait time for every vehicle behind you.
- MANY times, the NPS will have a “Pre-Paid Park Pass Lane” available, which will save YOU time entering the gate.
The National Park Passes below are available for purchase at Buck Wild.
