Celebrate National Park Week With Free Admission

Free Parks For All This Week

Escape to nature this weekend and have a fun time in the great outdoors because all national parks across the country will have free admission in celebration of National Park Week.

Every year during National Park week, parks across the US hold special programs and events in celebration of the nation’s national treasures. The celebratory week starts on April 20 and concludes April 28, with all admission fees waived on Saturday.

National Park Week is a presidentially mandated celebration of the nation’s public lands that runs every April. It is a joint effort of NPS and charity group the National Park Foundation, but anyone and everyone can get involved in a variety of ways, from donating to the parks to sharing photos and stories on social media.

“Every year, we invite you to join us and make a difference for the national parks and programs you love. Whether you give, share, join, or do all three, we’re grateful that you are part of the parks community!” the National Park Foundation said on a webpage announcing the week.

If you do make it to one of your national parks during the weeklong celebration be sure to share it on social media and include the hashtag #NationalParkWeek.
