National Park Service Announces Free Entry Days for 2021

Each year, the National Parks Service (NPS) announces a select number of days when admission fees to all United States National Parks are free.

Here are the six days this year that are free:

1. Monday, January 18^th – Martin Luther King Jr. Day
2. Saturday, April 17^th – Beginning of National Park Week
3. Wednesday, August 4^th – First anniversary of the Great American Outdoor Act
4. Wednesday, August 25^th – National Park Service Birthday
5. Saturday, September 25^th – National Public Lands Day
6. Thursday, November 11^th – Veterans Day

If you are looking to go to any National Park on one of these days, make sure to plan accordingly. Since there are no entrance fees, most parks will be very busy these days, especially if it is a weekend or public holiday.
