We want our Memorial to be accessible to all veterans and the general public. Our facilities are handicap accessible and fully ADA compliant. Furthermore, we offer wheelchairs and golf carts to travel from the welcome center to the Vietnam Wall. 

There is no entry fee. However, if you have the means, we request a $10 donation per person. This helps to ensure upkeep and growth of the Memorial.

We have tour guides available to escort you through our Memorial. We ask that you call in advance to ensure a tour guide is available upon your arrival. 

We offer many different donation options: individual giving, tribute trees, tribute benches, and tribute bricks. In lieu of donating on our website, you may call our Memorial during normal operating hours and place a donation.

We have a large parking lot that can accommodate both large groups and school buses. Parking is free. We do ask that you contact us in advance with any large groups, so we can plan in advance to make the most of your visit.
