National Park Fee-Free Days for 2023

National Park Fee-Free Days for 2023

Did you know there was such a thing as National Park Fee-Free Days?

This is such a wonderful opportunity to get out there and finally visit all of those National Parks you have always wanted to visit.

What a great way to have some super frugal family fun in 2023!

The National Park Service will waive entrance fees for all 423 of its parks, monuments, and memorials on its fee-free days this year.

 

There is nothing so American as our national parks…. The fundamental idea behind the parks…is that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us. – President Franklin D. Roosevelt

Fee-Free Days!

Although many park entrances are free all of the time, there are others that can cost between $5.00 and $35.00 per person typically on most days of the year.

It is pretty exciting that even places like Acadia, Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone, and Glacier national parks are included in these fee-free days!

 

National parks are the best idea we ever had. Absolutely American, absolutely democratic, they reflect us at our best rather than our worst. – Wallace Stegner

I am so happy to say that everyday is a fee-free day for all American veterans and Gold Star families!

Only Entrance Fees Will Be Waived

Please keep in mind that although the National Park entrance fees will be waived on these specific days, the cost of activities and amenities such as camping, boat launches, transportation, and special tours will still come at a cost.

Candy had been a good shopper for years. With 12 children, it didn’t take her long to realize that if she wasn’t a smart shopper, she wouldn’t make it very far! She wanted to continue to be a stay-at-home mother, but she wondered if this was going to be possible. Then, she found out about coupons. Coupons have literally changed her life!
