zubee23 Posted March 7, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Read somewhere to bring my National Park Pass with me on my cruise. Where would I use it? I know Alaska has quite a few national parks but are they near a cruise port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anita Latte Posted March 7, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 7, 2023 You would use your park pass at Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau for entrance to the visitor’s center and to access those trails that require a pass to hike. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfilpus Posted March 7, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 7, 2023 The Southeast Alaska Discovery Center in Ketchikan took our Senior pass for admission to the museum and provided access to their Wi-Fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erienetuser Posted March 7, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Just turned 62, can I buy my park pass at either of these locations? Or should I buy in advance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie11 Posted March 7, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Also good at the visitor's center at Totem Park in Sitka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To simply things, I'd buy in advance. This link has locations to buy it, or you can buy online. https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/passes.htm But, since it's good for just one year from purchase, buy at the beginning of the month that you'll be cruising.

I think the Senior Pass, which you can buy at 62, is good for the rest of your life, or until you lose it and have to buy another one 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
