For one week every April, though, we join with the National Park Service to celebrate these special places with programs designed to get people off their couches and out into their parks. This year, National Park Week starts on Saturday and runs through the following Sunday, April 21-29.

We’re kicking off National Park Week with a fee-free day. This Saturday, April 21, all national park sites that normally charge an entrance fee will offer free admission to everyone. That’s right, all 84 million acres of historic places, cultural treasures, and the world’s most spectacular scenery will be open for free!

Be sure to visit our Find a Park page to find a beautiful park near you to visit. I hope you’ll be able to participate in National Park Week!
