Did you know there are several days each year with free admission to our National Parks? Or that there's a 4th grade "Every Kid Outdoors" Pass for free entry for the family? Some parks have no admission fee at all! National Parks are a great way to explore the outdoors and learn about nature. There are quite a few options right here in our own state of Florida.
Be sure to check the National Park Service site for updates, any changes and contact information.
