Free National Parks Annual Pass for Families with 4th Graders
Free entertainment is the best!
If you have a child in the 4th grade (or homeschooling equivalent) for the 2019-20 school year, your family is eligible for a FREE National Parks Annual Pass – valid through August 31st, 2020!
This pass grants free access to national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, and more for your 4th grader plus all children under 16 and up to three adults! You can use it as many times as you’d like, meaning you’ll get an entire year’s worth of FREE visits. How awesome is that?
Are you a 4th grade teacher?
Teachers and adults who lead youth-serving organizations serving 4th graders (think homeschooling co-ops, camps, church groups, etc.) can also print FREE passes for your entire class plus download fun activity guides.
This is so great!! Also if you are veteran who receives over 30% disability compensation, you can get a free lifetime national parks access pass!! It has so many benefits, I just got mine 2 weeks ago 😀
Thanks for your service and the tip, Caitlin!
Entrance fees can be hefty! $15-40, in my experience
We used it a lot last year. Went to Zion national park multiple times, The North Rim and Bryce Canyon. Best vacay!
Question: Has anyone used this? Where has people used this/planning on using this? I got it for my 4th grader. I thought that most of the big federal parks were free? We were thinking if f maybe going to Niagara Falls or Grand Canyon this year. Thanks!
We used this last year with our 4th grader. We went to the Badlands, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, and Devils Tower Monument. The national parks are not free and require entrance fees, so the pass for the 4 th grader is an excellent opportunity.
We took a family trip to Yellowstone this fall. It cost $35 to get into Grand Teton National Park and then another $35 to get into Yellowstone. Next year when we have a 4th grader we are going to go to Yosemite and Zion National Park.
We used it last summer and went to Mt Ranier, Mt St Helen, a couple lighthouses on the Oregon coast, Lava Beds National Monument, Crater Lake, Smith Rock, and The Painted Hills in Oregon. It was great!
we live at east coast. Please suggest which national park is good for using this? thanks!
