Is a National Park pass worth it?

Are you planning on visiting a National Park this year? It might be worth it to buy an annual pass- aka the America the Beautiful pass. Most National Parks will cost between $20-$35 for a single entrance, buying a year pass will only cost you $80. So if you plan on visiting a park at least three times in a year its totally worth it!

But… you might not have to pay $80 for you pass. Here are a few discount options you might be able to take advantage of…

  1. If you have a 4th grader (even if you homeschool) you can get a free year pass for your family!
  2. If you are currently serving in the military (or a dependent of someone who is) you can get a free YEAR pass
  3. Veterans can get a free LIFETIME pass
  4. If you are 62 or older you can get a year pass for only $20 or a LIFETIME pass for $80
  5. If you have a permanent disability you can get a free LIFETIME pass
