Free Admission To National Parks

If you live close to a National Park, this weekend admission will be free!  This would make a great family outing for nature lovers. Take a picnic lunch and enjoy a nice walk/hike in scenic surroundings.

Can’t make it this weekend? You have 3 other options:

  • August 25 (National Park Service Birthday)
  • September 27 (National Public Lands Day)
  • November 11 (Veterans Day)

 

Have you ever been to a National Park? (I have not.)
