Not at this monument/museum. There are rentals at PTown Aquasports, just north of the pier. We were there pre-season, they weren't open, but looks like they have good reviews.

Hello, You wind upwards to the top of the monument. It is more rectangular than circular, so it isn't a winding, tight squeeze, yet there isn't a lot of room. There are 116 steps alternating with 60 ramps. You walk up a few steps, then walk along a ramp, then a few steps, and then a ramp, etc. There is room for others to come down when you are going up, and/or room for others to pass you, so you need not feel rushed. It is not a difficult climb, especially since the ramps give you a bit of a break from the stairs, but there is no place to stop and rest, other than to stand against the wall.

When we were there we saw travelers with dogs outside the monument complex but did not see anyone with a dog inside the museum or the monument. To be sure, I would call the museum regarding clarification. Sorry I can not be more helpful. A hike to the top of the Pilgrim's Monument can be a bit tiring but the views are spectacular and well worth the effort.

No place to check in a backpack but as it's a reasonably gentle grade with plenty of waiting places as you go it, provided its not too big it should be no problem.

Yes, it’s a quick walk from the ferry

It will probably take you about 20 minutes to walk from the Monument to the ferry for Long Point. Have fun!

Parking included one entry, not that expensive but well worth it. I think Peking was $15. Admission $12

I looked at their website. They close at 7 p.m. through Labor Day and the last trip to the top is 30 minutes prior to closing. The views from the base of the monument are amazing but they'll probably still clear everyone out by 7 p.m.

Yes, there is a charge and the lot gets full quickly. Best To park downtown and walk up the hill. If you are at a hotel close by walk from there. Parking is at a premium during high season
