The National Park Service offers free admission on certain days of the year to the more than 400 National Parks and other designated sites.
Free admission is designed to encourage people to get out and explore the country’s 63 National Parks and 360 designated sites.
“On designated days throughout the year, all visitors can enjoy free entrance to more than 400 national parks across the country. Whether you are a family looking for a weekend getaway, friends seeking a memorable outing, or even solo adventurers desiring to connect with nature, free entrance days make it easier for everyone to explore the parks,” the NPS said.
The five remaining free entrance days in 2025 are:
- April 19 – First Day of National Park Week
- June 19 – Juneteenth National Independence Day
- August 4 – Great American Outdoors Act Signing Day
- September 27 – National Public Lands Day
- November 11 – Veterans Day
The National Park Service warns that due to high demand on free entrance days the parks will likely be busy so it’s best to make reservations at the sites that require them.
