Made the Pilgrim Monument a part of my family vacation since my daughters and I love "castles". Once they saw the monument they couldn't wait to go up. The location is really easy to find and the parking is just $15 and it includes a pass to the monument. There is plenty of public parking nearby as well. When we arrived there was a private event at first and the workers told us about the museum. The museum is small and its at the entrance before the monument. It had cool exhibits about the history of Provincetown. I really loved the replica Mayflower and the huge whale jawbone. We had an hour and a half to go so we headed down a small hill outside and walked Commercial St. After shopping around we came back. I brought two water bottles which they let in and proceeded to climb the monument. The monument has a combination of steps at the base then its most ramps til the top then a few more stairs. The ramps are what made the climb easier and we made it with no problem. The view from the top is amazing! You can see everything! I really loved looking at all the sand doons and coast line. I highly recommend this spot!! I also recommend wearing comfortable shoes for the monument and walking on Commercial St!
