Love national parks? National Park Week is happening April 19 to April 27 to celebrate everything “parks.” There are more than 400 national parks of different shapes, sizes, and kinds to experience. Also discover what the National Park Service does to preserve natural and cultural heritage and provide recreational opportunities in communities across the country—and even the world!
Five Easy Ways to Celebrate
- Follow the fun on social media using #NationalParkWeek. Join conversations with our parks and programs and share your own posts about your love of parks to inspire others.
- Find a national park and come visit! Entrance fees to national parks are waived on April 19, 2025, to kick off the celebration.
- Kids, grab your family and friends to come out for National Junior Ranger Day! You can also earn your official Junior Ranger badge any time at most parks throughout the week.
- Look around your community to learn how National Park Service programs and partners are involved in your community. Find national historic landmarks or national natural landmarks near you. Or enjoy recreational opportunities and spaces enhanced by programs and partners.
- Get involved as a volunteer or partner! Many parks are also celebrating National Volunteer Week.
