Fee Free Admission in National Parks

Fee Free Admission in National Parks

Whether you crave the desert’s dry heat, dream of alpine summits, revel in tropical sunshine, or live for the rocky beaches of the North Atlantic, America’s national park system has what you’re looking for. While some national parks and monuments are free, over 100 national parks, monuments, seashores, and battlefields are fee-charging.

Visiting the national parks is one of the most economical vacation options there is, but it’s never more affordable than on six free entry days when all the national park sites that normally charge an entry fee of as much as $35 offer free admission. Pick a new park to explore, or return to an old favorite, to celebrate these special park holidays in 2025.
