Beginning April 15, Acadia National Park will shift to a completely cashless fee system, accepting only mobile payments, credit cards, or debit cards for entrance fees at park sales outlets. This transition is part of a wider trend towards cashless systems, offering both convenience and a reduced risk of virus transmission during the ongoing pandemic.
For those visitors unable to make digital payments, there is an alternate option. They can purchase a park pass from one of nine local third-party vendors. This ensures that even those without access to digital payment methods can still enjoy the park’s amenities.
The move to a cashless system at Acadia National Park is part of a growing trend in public spaces and businesses. It is hoped that this transition will improve the overall visitor experience by streamlining the payment process and reducing the risk of cash-associated infections.
