US National Parks Waived Entrance Fees

On Oct. 27, the National Park Service waived standard entrance fees at participating sites for U.S. citizens and residents in honor of President Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday. International visitors remained subject to regular entrance and applicable nonresident fees, while charges for camping, reservations, tours, permits and transportation could still apply. The final fee-free day of 2026 is Veterans Day, Nov. 11; the waivers cover only parks and sites that ordinarily charge admission.
