NEW Glacier on the move

From May through September, you'll pay a $3 admission fee to go into the visitor center to view the exhibits and see audio visual presentations. Funds collected here stay here to help pay for additional staffing, extended hours, and utilities. Activities outside the center building itself are free of charge, and visitors may use the restrooms and visit the bookstore without paying the fee.
