    This is a great vista to see Provincetown. It is also a great place to park to explore downtown for free. Just note there is a hill to climb up and down.

    Decided to officially visit this monument on a whim and had a great time. It’s a bit of a climb up to the top but with a mix of steps and short ramps that took around 13 minutes to climb. Super views....  more

    Wow! Simply put, it's a lot of steps to get to the top but definitely worth it if there's visibility. We went on a cloudy day and didn't get to see much but we enjoyed the challenging walk to the top. Lots to see in the museum area and the elevator access to the town was really excellent. 5 minute walk from elevator to restaurants.

    Almost empty on an April Sunday so it made for a low pressure visit- no one crowding the exhibits and no one hurrying behind me up the stairs/ramps of the monument. Very nicely curated museum and great view of the Cape from the top of the monument. Nice gift shop also. Well worth the admission.
