Parking Details
Mount Rushmore National Memorial Parking Facility offers plentiful parking. There is a parking fee of $11 per vehicle for cars, motorcycles and RVs. Commercial tour bus fees are $50 per vehicle, and verified nonprofit educational buses pay $25. Parking passes for buses are valid for 24 hours. A parking permit entitles a non-commercial vehicle unlimited entry to the memorial for the calendar year. Visitors may pay parking fees with cash, traveler's checks, local personal checks, or with a Visa or Mastercard. Although no reservations are needed to visit the memorial, parking for vehicles pulling trailers or extra-long vehicles is extremely limited. Vehicles can unload mobility-impaired visitors in front of the main entryway. For questions concerning parking and parking fees, call Presidential Parking, Inc. at (605) 574-2643.
