The 10 most expensive parking fees at US attractions

When going on an outing to a fun attraction, it’s important to remember all of the sneaky fees that may add on to the cost of admission. One in particular that can add a chunk of change to your expenses is parking. Some parking expenses are so high, they are even more expensive than the price of your ticket.

To help you figure how much to budget for your trip, Zutobi, an online resource for driving and driver safety, has ranked the most expensive and cheapest parking at famed attractions in the US. Zutobi used a Google search to form a list of the top 20 tourist attractions in the US, then used the official website of each attraction to research the price of parking at each one. If prices differed on certain days of the week, the highest cost was used for the study.
