National Parks Celebrate National Park Week with Free Admission April 18-19

The 127  National Parks that charge entrance fees will waive them on April 18 and 19, the opening weekend of  National Park Week.

As the National Park Service approaches its 100th birthday in 2016, “Find Your Park” is a national movement to connect all Americans with their public lands, especially national parks. The centennial will reflect on the accomplishments of the past, but mainly focus on the future and the desire for everyone to know about and visit their national treasures.
