The standard vehicle entrance ticket is $35 for seven consecutive days at all park entrances. Non-U.S. residents age 16 or older also pay $100 each unless covered by an eligible pass. The $35 price alone is not every visitor's total.
Check your specific operator and package. NPS lists concessioner tours, rentals and camping as separate charges. Before paying, ask whether the quoted package includes park admission and any nonresident fees, and where the tour starts. Do not assume all operators include the same fees.
The park lists its $70 annual pass for U.S. citizens and residents. Nonresidents can buy the $250 America the Beautiful annual pass. A valid covering pass held by someone travelling in your private vehicle can cover entrance and nonresident fees; the holder must travel with you.
The public fee page clearly gives seven days for the standard ticket. We have not verified the re-entry period for the separate nonresident fee at Everglades. Ask the park before relying on repeat-entry savings; our calculation labels that assumption. Zion's clarification is not an Everglades rule.
These are the currently published rules, not confirmed arrangements for a future year. Check the official links for your travel date.
Work out the cost for your group
| Type | Price | Valid for | Season |

| Private vehicle | $35 | 7 days | All year |
| Per person, 16 and over | $20 | 7 days | All year |
At 11 parks, each non-U.S. resident aged 16 or older pays a $100 nonresident fee on top of the standard entrance fee, unless admitted with an annual or America the Beautiful pass.
All valid America the Beautiful passes and park-specific annual passes cover entrance fees and nonresident fees for the pass holder and passengers in a private vehicle. The holder must be there.
The $100 nonresident fee validity still needs confirmation at parks other than Zion. For those parks we estimate one charge per person per park visit of up to 7 days. Re-entry charges could change the gate total and the cheapest option. Check with each park before relying on this estimate.
The $70 Everglades annual pass is listed for U.S. citizens and residents and covers the holder and passengers of a single vehicle or vessel. It does not pay separate tour, rental or camping charges.
Buying park admission does not book a tour, campsite or rental. Follow the park's official planning links and your chosen operator's booking instructions. Check availability for each activity on your travel date.
