Group fees and reservations:
All groups planning to visit Harpers Ferry National Historical Park must make reservations a minimum of two weeks before the scheduled arrival date. Educational groups are required to make reservations a minimum of three weeks in advance. Unless the group has been granted an official fee waiver, all fees apply. For group reservations call the Entrance Station at (304) 535-6299 OR fax your request to (304) 535-2905. Group fees are assessed at the time of reservation. National Park Service employees will determine group status as commercial or non-commercial.

Pets must be kept on a six-foot leash at all times while visiting any area of the park. This prevents encounters between pets and wildlife, protects pets from hazards, and prevents unwanted interaction between pets and other visitors. Retractable leashes should be kept at a maximum length of six feet. All pet waste must be removed from the park. If you are visiting with your pet, please remember to bring plastic bags or a scoop and determine how you will transport waste from the park. Pet waste may not be left on the ground or disposed of in park trash receptacles.

Things to do:
Harpers Ferry Park offers a wide variety of activities for individuals and families. Visit the many museums and exhibits, hike scenic trails, join a ranger-guided tour or just explore on your own. The Harpers Ferry Historical Association's Bookshop has a great supply of books, artwork, postcards and items for kids of all ages.
