Value of a Chautauqua Pass

Preservation Fee
A Preservation Fee is added at the time of purchase to all Adult Daily and Weekly Chautauqua Passes, $2 per adult per day if purchased online prior to arrival or $3 per adult per day if purchased upon entering the gates. Please note: the Preservation Fee does not apply to Season Chautauqua Passes or Youth and Child Passes. This fee will serve to preserve and protect our landscapes, shoreline, buildings and amenities that have played a meaningful role in Lakeside’s past while carefully integrating improvements for the future.
