Come experience the national parks! All National Park Service sites that charge an entrance fee will offer free admission (other fees, including timed entry or reservation fees, may apply) on several days this year. Entrance fees are waived to encourage people to get out to enjoy these parks and all their natural beauty!

New: Beginning in 2026, free entrance on these days will be for US citizens and residents only. Nonresidents will pay the regular entrance fee and any applicable nonresident fees.
