No entrance pass required
An entrance pass is not required to access Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park. Other National Park Service sites may require an entrance pass or fee. Depending on your trip plans, an interagency pass may save you money. There is no entrance fee to visit National Park Service managed portions of Dayton Aviation National Historical Park. However, some of our area partners charge fees for visiting.
