About this event
On select entrance fee-free dates in 2026, National Park Service sites that normally charge admission offer free entry to everyone, with some other fees possibly still applying. It’s a chance to plan a visit around the National Park Service’s preserved places and stories, with free admission dates including Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day weekend, the National Park Service’s 110th birthday, Constitution Day, Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday, and Veterans Day.
