Fees & Passes

Free
No entrance pass required

An entrance pass is not required to access Lyndon B Johnson 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 are no entrance fees to enter either Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park or Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site. Visitors DO NEED to pick up a FREE driving permit before entering the LBJ Ranch. These permits are issued at the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site visitor center. The State Park visitor center is located on Highway 290 halfway between Johnson City and Fredericksburg.

America the Beautiful: National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass

As of 2007, the Golden Age, Golden Eagle, and Golden Access Passes were replaced with a new series of inter-agency passes called the "America the Beautiful - National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass. Each pass is described in brief, below.

Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park does not have an entrance fee, therefore we do not issue these passes.
