free national parks

The National Park Service is over 100 years old! How many of our beautiful national parks have you been to? Enjoy free entrance to US National Parks on special “free entrance days.” More than 100 national parks that usually charge admission will be free on these days.

There are 419 national parks in all, and most are actually free every day. On special “free entrance days,” all parks are free. These dates are listed below. 

Free national park entrance days for 2021:

  • January 18: Martin Luther King Jr. Day
  • April 17: First day of National Park Week
  • August 4: The Anniversary of the Signing of the Great American Outdoors Act
  • August 25: National Park Service Birthday
  • September 25: National Public Lands Day
  • November 11: Veterans Day

The free days may be busy, so call ahead if you plan to camp overnight, and find out about reservations.

Be sure to check out the free annual passes to all parks for active duty military and children in fourth grade too.

Update: Many 4th graders missed out on using their Every Kid Outdoors Annual 4th Grade Pass during the 2019-2020 school year. For this reason, 5th graders and their families will receive free access to national parks and other federal lands managed by the Department of the Interior from October 28, 2020 through August 31, 2021.

And, parents and teachers, check out this link. It’s all about the Park Service’s educational programs. There is field trip information and much more.

Our national parks are here for us to enjoy, so find out which parks are near you, and plan your visit.
