Frequently Asked Questions

What is included with a Gate Pass?

A Gate Pass provides grounds access during your selected dates, including morning lectures, select public programs, community worship, galleries, and open public spaces. Reserved evening performances, Special Studies classes, youth programs, and parking are purchased separately.

Do I need a Gate Pass for evening performances?

Yes. Most reserved evening events require both a Gate Pass for grounds access and a separate event ticket for your seat. Day visitors without a Gate Pass may have limited options—check the specific event listing for details.

How do I choose between a daily, weekly, or season pass?

Use the Ticket Finder above, or match your visit length: one day for a short visit, a few days or one week for a longer stay, multiple weeks for an extended visit, or a full season pass if you plan to return throughout the summer.

Is parking included with my Gate Pass?

Parking is not included. You can reserve parking as a visit add-on for the days you need it. Spaces are limited during peak weeks, so reserving ahead is recommended.

Can children attend without a Gate Pass?

Age-based Gate Pass rules apply. Many youth programs also require separate registration. Review the Gate Passes page and youth program details for current age thresholds and requirements.
