Free Admission to Any National Park during National Park Week

If you’re looking for a free activity for your family, think about heading to one of our national parks. From April 16–24 you can visit any park for FREE!

It’s National Park Week, so every national park will give you free admission! Some of the best national parks charge admission fees {133 parks out of 400}, so you’ll definitely want to take advantage of this fee-free week if you’re planning on visiting one of the fee-based national parks anytime soon. National Park Week is America’s largest celebration of national heritage. It’s about making great connections, exploring amazing places, discovering open spaces, and enjoying affordable vacations.

If you can’t make it during National Park Week, there are a few other fee-free days left this year. Check them out:

Free National Park Admission Dates:
