We recommend you arrive before 11:00 a.m. or after 3:00 p.m. on summer weekends, holidays and fall color weekends. You'll move through the Gate more quickly, there will be fewer people in the park, and the animals will be more active. If you can only schedule your visit for midday, we will always be ready to take care of your travel party.

Summer 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Winter 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

What People Say…

" When we lived in NC we made several trips to Grandfather Mountain and brought members of our family there when they visited. It was one of our favorite places to visit and we visit again even though we are now living in Texas. I would recommend it to anyone who loves nature and the outdoors. The animals you keep are especially wonderful to see in their own habitat."
