All National Parks offer free admission during the weekend of August 14th and 15th as a way to help more people take advantage of the wonderful scenery and other attractions these parks have to offer. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to visit one of the parks near you, now is the time to go.

One hundred forty-seven of the National Parks charge an admission ranging from three dollars to twenty-five dollars and you can enter any one of them this weekend for free. You and your family can enjoy a fun filled adventure at the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, the Great Smoky Mountains or any other national park near your area without having to pay the entrance fees.

The free weekend admission gives families and individuals an opportunity to visit the parks and explore the hiking trails, admire the wildlife and simply enjoy nature at its finest.
