It costs $3 to get into this attraction but it was worth it to see this beautiful chapel and hear the story of the unique staircase within. Well worth the visit.

You should be wary of a place when you encounter testimonials as soon as you open the door, even before you pay. Indeed, my experience at the Loretto Chapel had somewhat of a carnival atmosphere. This is a shame, because the interior of the chapel is really quite beautiful. It would've been a better experience if the people running it... More 

first heard of this chapel watching the movie The Staircase. Third visit & still amazed by this winding staircase, leading to the choir loft, that defies modern day carpentry. railings were added later.

Hard to imagine that this beatiful little church could be abandoned by the Catholic Church. So much charm and such a long history. Give yourself a little extra time. There is a lot of detail to study inside. God Bless those who saved this building and its contents !

The story is played on speakers in the chapel. The story is detailed, easy to hear and provides the information that allows a visitor to appreciate the miracle of the staircase. The staircase is a sight to behold and they nicely allow photography inside the chapel.

Very interesting to see and beautiful inside. Of course it has a great history behind it. One of the best parts is the spiral, 720 degree, unsupported staircase and the story about the mystery carpenter that built it.

I paid the $3 admission fee and put my change into the donation box for the nuns' retirement fund. The chapel has been decommissioned by the Church, so the altar is bare of the usual furnishings. There is an audio loop that gives the history of the chapel and the staircase, specifying that the history of the staircase is "legend."... More 

I had read and heard from others that this was a must see. I was not disappointed and we took many pictures of the stairs that were a part of the legend of this chapel

For a couple of dollars you get to see some really cool stairs that were made in a miraculous manner.
