4. Free Admission to US National Parks for the School Year!
I’ve written about the US National Park Service’s Every Kid in a Park program, where 4th graders and their families can get into National parks for free through August 31, 2016. And now we have all the details!
Educators such as teachers, camp directors, home-school leaders, after-school leaders, and religious organizers also qualify for free passes.
To get their free pass, 4th graders answer 2 multiple choice questions about what they would do on a trip to the park.
Once they’ve completed the test, they’ll receive a printable US National Park pass.
Educators will need to complete a form with their full name, address, and work email address to get their free pass.
You can also exchange your paper pass for a plastic keepsake pass at certain parks.
Here’s how the pass works:
- The pass is good for 4th graders and their friends & family
- An educator pass gives free entry to teachers and each of their 4th grade students
- Passes waive your entry fee only – camping, boats, tours, etc. are NOT included
- If the site charges vehicle fees, the pass is good for all children under 16 and up to 3 adults.
- Present your pass at the gate or place it on the windshield of your car
- Electronic versions of the pass are NOT accepted, you must have a printed copy
