- South Wing of Monticello
After you finish your Monticello tour and meet Thomas Jefferson you can head to the Mountain Top Activity Center. Typically I think this is located outside but when we went it was raining.
After you play for a little while, you can grab a snack! There is ice cream and some fun colonial-style food choices. There is a little Farm Shop right next to the activity center.
You can also check out the icehouse on the north wing. There are also bays for horses and carriages you can check out.
The main house basement exhibit is pretty cool. There are lots of underground passageways to and from the house. The basement connects the passageways.
You will have to walk a little bit to get to the south wing. The south wing has the 1809 kitchen, smokehouse, living quarters for enslaved workers, and the diary.
Jul 4, 2022 · As of summer 2022, the price of admission for the Highlights Tour is $42 per adult, $13 per child 12-18, and FREE for children under 12 (FREE tickets still required). This price covers the Highlights Tour, Slavery Tour, and Garden Tour. I love to see the “personal spaces” in historic homes.
Area residents can enjoy Monticello's Highlights Tour or Gardens and Grounds Pass all year round with The Local Discount. Year-round for these ticket types, locals get a two-for-one price or $10 off a single ticket when visiting alone. Who is Eligible for The Local Discount?
