Typically, 127 of the sites charge an admission fee that ranges from $3 - $30. As part of their centennial celebration, the NPS has decided that it will waive the entrance fee on 16 days in 2016:
- Jan. 18 - Martin Luther King Jr. Day
- Apr. 16-24 - National Park Week
- Aug. 25-28 - National Park Service's 100th Birthday weekend
- Sept. 24 - National Public Lands Day
- Nov. 11 - Veteran's Day
If you haven't visited a national park recently, this is a great opportunity to reconnect with nature and/or history near wherever you live. Although the entrance fees are waived, visitors should realize that amenity or user fees are still in place (ie. camping, boating, transportation, tours, lodges, etc.).
