Don't Forget...Monday is a Fee-Free Day

Monday, January 19 – Martin Luther King Jr. Day – is the first entrance fee-free date for 2015.


If you’re lucky enough to have Monday off of work, you’ll be glad to know that all of the national parks, seashores, monuments, memorials and other protected will not charge an entrance fee. In fact, more than 100 U.S. parks that normally charge fees will be free to the public on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, January 19, 2015.


I still think that the annual park pass is a no-brainer. It puts much needed funds in the hands of the NPS. For a trip that includes multiple national parks, the $80 annual pass provides entrance to all national parks, national wildlife refuges, national forests, and many other Federal lands — more than 2,000 in all. It’s a great deal!


The next fee-free day in 2015 are February 14-16, Presidents Day weekend. Entrance fees and tour fees are generally waived, although camping and concession fees may not be.
