Free National Parks Day: Muir Woods + Yosemite for National Parks Service Birthday 2026
"Sometimes you've just got to get away from it all and clear your head with the peace and serenity of a national park. 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."
The National Park Service is hosting 10 fee-free days in 2026 when sites that charge entrance fees will offer free admission. Free entrance on these designated days will be limited to US citizens and residents; nonresidents must pay regular entrance and applicable nonresident fees. Fee-free days typically include national parks, monuments, and select historic vessel admissions at Hyde Street Pier. Individual parks may still require reservations, parking, shuttles, or other charges (for example, Muir Woods requires parking or shuttle fees and reservations even on free days). Confirm park operating hours and availability before visiting. Last updated 12/12/25.
