    There’s lots of good information/history of PTown. Hiking up to the top of the monument is the highlight for the views.  more »

    Worth climbing. Very nice view and wind. Not that hard and there was not too many steps. Very clean and we got half price as we reached last an hour before closing.  more »

    We took a ferry from Plymouth to P Town and spent a day walking around the town and seeing the sites. Pilgrim Monument is not very far from the pier where the ferries drop you off, but take a little of water if it's a hot day. There's a small hill you have to walk up in order to get there. It has a great gift shop where you can browse and rest for a bit.
  • By Henry Morris On April 4, 2018
    Interesting museum about the local history of Provincetown and the wider Cape Cod. Cherry on top was the 360 degree view across Cape Cod!
  • By Linda Briggs On March 17, 2018
    Great scenic place to visit. And fun going up all the way to top.
  • By João Pedro On March 10, 2018
    Great view, great for pictures or meditation. Dates or painting. Very soothing.
  • By Karen Evans On September 29, 2017
    Beautiful monument worth walking the 160-some steps and ramps to get to the top at 252 feet. Lovely views all around. Take water and stop often! Nice breezes at the top. Museum and gift shop are very nice. Park in the lot all day, with cost going toward one admission.
