Want to explore some of America’s best attractions for just $50 for the entire family for an entire year? Buy a National Parks Pass for free entry into any National Park requiring an entrance fee.
The National Parks Pass costs just $50 for a full year of admission into any National Park requiring an entrance fee. The year starts with your first use of the pass, so you can time the use of your pass to get the most mileage out of your vacation schedule. The National Parks Pass is valid for admission for everyone in your non-commercial vehicle in parks where a per vehicle fee is assessed, and the National Parks Pass will admit you, your spouse, parents and children at National Parks where a per person entrance fee is required.Not only will your purchase allow your family to enjoy an amazing array of National Parks for a surprisingly low price, but more than 80% of the cost of the National Parks Pass helps fund projects in the National Parks.
If a member of your family is age 62 or older, or is blind or permanently disabled, they can enjoy free admission into the National Park System. The Golden Access Passport, for U.S. citizens who are blind or permanently disabled, is a lifetime entrance pass into U.S. National Parks, as well as sites managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management. It allows for free admission for anyone in a private vehicle with the pass signee at parks with a per vehicle entrance fee, and free admission for the pass signee, spouse and children at national parks where a per person admission fee is charged.
The Golden Age Passport for U.S. residents 62 years and older operates the same way as the Golden Access Passport. However, there is a one-time $10 processing fee for this pass.
