This Saturday marks the start of National Park Week, and the National Park Service is throwing a party to celebrate. Entrance fees for all National Parks are being waived — that’s right, you can visit any National Park for free on Saturday, April 21.
There are four free days at National Park Service sites each year, but the National Park Week kickoff is perhaps most jovial. Think of it as a sort of unofficial kickoff to road trip season. The NPS partners with the official charity of the National Parks, the National Park Foundation, each year to offer a packed schedule with a variety of happenings to celebrate the week and get people stoked to visit and support the parks throughout the summer.
