Traveling with Groups
Reservations Required
Reservations are essential. To make your visit more enjoyable, Grandfather Mountain will limit the number of groups visiting each day. Contact Kim Rupard at the Grandfather Mountain office at 800-468-7325 or 828-733-2013 as soon as possible to make sure your preferred date is available.
Groups pay by cash, check or credit card upon arrival.
| Group Admission Rates (20 or more) | |
| Group Adult | $12 |
| Group Child | $5 |
| Driver & Escort (for motor coach tours) | FREE |
Shuttle Service
Because sharp curves near the top of the mountain restrict commercial motor coaches and some school busses to the lower part of the mountain, Grandfather provides free shuttle service to the top in its own busses.
A $25 deposit is required 30 days in advance of the visit for groups that plan to use the mountain’s shuttle service. The deposit will be applied to your admission fee upon your arrival.
