The National Parks offer FREE admission into all National Parks several times a year and the next one is happening on April 16th.
Do you have a favorite National Park that you have visited? I would love to hear about it in the comments below!
Here are several reasons why it is important to visit parks with kids.
Free National Park Day
This is a great way to be able to experience the 400+ different parks available to us.
You can see all of the National Parks that are included in the FREE Park Days promotion here.
Junior Ranger Program
The Junior Ranger Program is a great way for kids to explore national parks, get some cool swag, and maybe even one of those coveted hats the rangers wear! (Well…okay. Yours might be made out of paper, but you’ll still rock it!)
You’ll also learn why national parks matter and how you can be a part of the team that helps keep parks healthy.
We don’t care what age you are–just come to “explore, learn, and protect” your national parks and become an official Junior Ranger!
Find a park near you and ask the rangers about all the fun activities and special programs you can do to earn a Junior Ranger badge.
