Enjoy free entry to all national parks on Tuesday. Here’s why.

If you’re looking to visit a national park – consider going on Tuesday.

The National Park Service (NPS) will mark 110 years since its founding on August 25, 1916.

To celebrate, NPS is waiving all entrance fees that day.

“Make your own stories exploring stunning natural landscapes, reflecting on our nation’s inspiring history and rich culture, and enjoying the great outdoors,” NPS said.

There are more than 400 national parks across the country. You can search for a park near you by clicking here.

There are three additional free entrance days left in 2026:

  • September 17: Constitution Day
  • October 27: Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday
  • November 11: Veterans Day

According to NPS, free entrance on these days will be for US citizens and residents only. Nonresidents will pay the regular entrance fee and any applicable nonresident fees.
