Free Entrance Days in 2022

Every year, National Parks across the country welcome visitors with Free Entrance Days! In 2022, Grand Canyon National Park will offer five days throughout the course of the year to skip the entrance fees! 

Our first Free Entrance Day will be on Martin Luther King, Jr., Day on January 17. See the full list below: 

January 17 – MLK Jr. Day

April 16 – First Day of National Park Week

August 4 – Anniversary of the Great American Outdoors Act

September 24 – National Public Lands Day

November 11 – Veteran’s Day

Entrance fees contribute nearly $170 million each year to parks throughout the country. This money is used to maintain, repair, and restore habitats, while keeping public facilities in working order. While including visitors that go to local businesses and tourism, national parks added an estimated $14.5 million to their economy with their travel! 

In Arizona, you can take advantage of the free entrance days at three parks: Grand Canyon National Park, Petrified Forecast National Park, and Saguaro National Park.
