The Park Service wants you to come and see your national treasures, and is waiving the gate fees for 17 days in 2011. Department of Interior boss, Ken Salazar says, "In these tough economic times, our fee-free days will give families many opportunities to enjoy our nation's heritage and natural beauty in meaningful and affordable ways."
Those free, "meaningful and affordable" days are: The weekend of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
(January 15-17), National Park Week (April 16-24), the first day of summer (June 21), National Public Lands Day (September 24), and the weekend of Veterans Day (November 11-13).
Fees for other park services like campground costs are NOT waived on these free admission days.
