Disclaimer: This service is independently operated and not affiliated with the Washington Monument or the National Park Service. Our package, crafted for history enthusiasts, includes not only a comprehensive guide to the Washington Monument but also convenient access tickets. We do not sell tickets separately as they are part of a convenience package. Please note, while the National Park Service does not charge for these tickets, they do apply a $1 convenience fee, which we include in our convenience package. By choosing our service, you consent to allow us to handle the purchase and registration of tickets in your name, including managing card transactions on your behalf and creating accounts/e-mail aliases required for these purchases. When we mention "skipping the line," we refer to avoiding the early AM queue, either physically or online, required the day before your visit. We do that on your behalf. Upon arrival, a brief wait near the plaza benches is necessary to ensure organized entry and security checks, typically lasting only a few minutes. Although rare, the National Park Service may close the Washington Monument due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances; in such cases, tickets are non-refundable, but we will make every effort to reschedule your visit whenever possible. Included in this package is a Washington DC magnet; to receive it as part of this order, please contact us to separately submit payment of $7.99 for shipping and handling.
All sales are final. No refund is available for cancellations.

We were notified the afternoon before our reservation that the Park Service had some changes. Viator notified us right away and asked if we could accommodate a same day change of time. All worked out very well. I appreciated how effective Viator was to notify me so quickly. Thank you; you were GREAT.
