"On certain "fee-free" days throughout the year, enjoy free entry to all national parks and monuments including Muir Woods and Yosemite National Park, and free admission aboard all of the historic vessels at the Hyde Street Pier of SF's Maritime National Historical Park. Please always check with each National Park before heading out to confirm that the park and its facilities are open and admission is free. The National Park Service is hosting 10 free days in 2026."
"All National Park Service sites that charge an entrance fee will offer free admission; however, beginning in 2026, free entrance on these days will be for US citizens and residents only. Nonresidents will pay the regular entrance fee and any applicable nonresident fees. Parks listed on this page typically waive their entrance fees on nationally designated fee-free dates. Please check with each park below for operating hours and event schedules. New for 2026, fee-free days are only applicable for US residents. See the latest updates."
Ten fee-free days in 2026 grant free entrance to National Park Service sites that charge entrance fees for U.S. citizens and residents. Nonresidents will pay regular entrance fees and any applicable nonresident fees. Fee-free access includes national parks and monuments such as Muir Woods and Yosemite and free admission aboard historic vessels at the Hyde Street Pier of San Francisco's Maritime National Historical Park. Visitors must check individual park operating hours and confirm that facilities and free admission are available. Muir Woods waives its $15 entrance fee but still requires parking ($10) or shuttle ($4) and reservations even on free days. Participating California parks include Cabrillo, Death Valley, Joshua Tree, and Pinnacles.
