Veterans, military personnel and families admitted free to National Park sites Nov. 11
by National Park Service
November 4, 2009
All National Park Service sites will offer free admission to veterans, current members of the U.S. armed forces, and their families on Tuesday, November 11, in honor of Veterans Day. This annual fee-free day was established in 2006 and is in addition to National Public Lands Day held in late September, the other annual fee-free day. Unlike National Public Lands Day, which is always on a Saturday, the Veterans Day waiver only applies on November 11, regardless of the day of the week.
The fee waiver applies to entrance fees only, however. Visitors need not identify themselves as military personnel and no special documentation is required. All park visitors are reminded that when entrance stations are not staffed, entrance fees are still required. Upon entering the park, visitors should follow posted instructions to pay entrance fees at the self-pay stations at each entrance.
