Grandfather Mountain, Nature on a Whole Different Level

PLanning Your Visit

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.

Admission Rates for Groups of 20 or more
Group Adult $13
Group Child $6
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. Reservations for the shuttle bus are required.
