Montezuma Castle National Monument
Montezuma Castle National Monument also accepts payment in person during Operating Hours and honors valid America the Beautiful Passes (Annual, Senior, Access, Military, etc.). For more information, visit the park's Fees & Passes web page.
Beginning January 1, 2026, changes to National Park Entrance Fees and Passes for non-residents and motorcycles take effect.
Frequent visitors, seniors, military, and others may save money on entrance fees with an America the Beautiful Pass.
Do NOT purchase a site pass now if you have a valid America the Beautiful annual or lifetime pass OR are planning to get one.
Each pass is issued to one person (the pass holder) who must be present and show valid photo identification each time the pass is used. U.S. citizen or resident identification includes a U.S. driver's license, U.S. passport, or U.S. permanent resident card.
This pass is valid only for ENTRANCE FEES at Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot National Monuments.
All visitors 16 years of age and older are required to pay an entrance fee at Montezuma Castle National Monument. Please be prepared to show your physical pass or digital pass on your mobile device at the visitor center front desk.
Passes are non-transferrable, non-refundable, not replaceable if lost or stolen, and are void if altered or reproduced.
