FAQ
GENERAL INFORMATION
How much is admission to the Elk Expo?
There is no admission fee to attend the PA Great Outdoors Elk Expo, but we do ask for a $3/car donation to cover the expense of providing shuttle service.
Why can't I park in the ECVC parking lots?
We provide shuttle service from locations at the bottom of the hill for your convenience, to avoid traffic congestion and confusion. We do ask for a $3/car donation to cover the expense of this service. Parking at the ECVC will be limited to vehicles with handicap parking requirements.
Is the Elk Expo handicap accessible?
The Elk Country Visitor Center and the grounds were designed for handicap accessibility. Most vendors are on pavement and the layout is navigable by wheelchairs. We suggest arriving early so you can get a spot in the parking lot. We do offer a "people mover" cart to shuttle attendees around the property but it will not have a regular route or schedule.
