National Park Entrance FREE on Monday!!



Free Entrance Days in the National Parks

The National Park Service turns 100 years old in 2016 and we want everyone to join the party!
On 16 days in '16, all National Park Service sites that charge an entrance fee will offer
free admission to everyone.

Mark your calendar for these entrance fee–free dates in 2016:
  • January 18: Martin Luther King Jr. Day
  • April 16 through 24: National Park Week
  • August 25 through 28: National Park Service Birthday
  • September 24: National Public Lands Day
  • November 11: Veterans Day
National parks are America’s Best Idea, and there are 409 available to everyone, every day.
The fee-free days provide a great opportunity to visit a new place or an old favorite, especially
one of the 127 national parks that normally charge an entrance fee. The others are free all of
the time. Plan your visit and enjoy our country’s history and nature.

The fee waiver includes entrance fees, commercial tour fees, and transportation entrance fees.
Other fees such as reservation, camping, tours, concession and fees collected by third parties
are not included unless stated otherwise.

Fee-free days make parks accessible to more people. However, national parks are always
economical, with entrance fees that range from $3 to $30. In addition, any fourth grade student
can get a free annual pass through the Every Kid in a Park program, and active duty military
and citizens with a permanent disability can also get free passes. For more information about
the variety of discounted passes available, please visit the
America the Beautiful National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass page.
