Over 100 National Parks Waive Entrance Fees on Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2015

January 15, 2015 by Jeffrey Strain

free entrance national parks
Each year, the National Parks Service announces days where the public can gain free access to all areas which are part of the national parks system. The first of these free entrance days in 2015 is Monday, January 19 to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. On this day, anyone entering sites which are part of the national park system won’t need to pay an entrance fee.

While there are over 400 sites which are part of the system, only a small percentage of them actually charge an entrance fee to visit. It’s these sites which will be waiving their entrance fee. Below is a list of all the parks which will waive their fee for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. These include National Parks (NP), National Monuments (NM), National Recreation Areas (NRA), National Historic Parks (NHP) National Historic Sites (NHS), National Military Parks (NMP), National Seashores (NS), National Memorials (NM), National Battlefields (NB), National Lakeshores (NL), and National Expansion Memorials (NEM). The list includes the no cost entrance sites and which state they are located.
