America’s Best Idea – the National Parks – gets even better this summer with three fee-free weekends at more than 100 national parks that usually charge entrance fees*.
Mark your calendars for fee-free weekends this summer:
- April 18-19 opening weekend of National Park Week
- August 25 National Park Service Birthday
- September 26 National Public Lands Day
- November 11 Veterans Day
Here’s a tip – many national parks never charge an entrance fee, so you can plan inexpensive visits year round!
You can see a list of parks in each state that are participating, these are the ones in Texas:
