Free National Park Pass for kids
If you have a 4th grader who enjoys the outdoors, summertime is the perfect reason to apply for the 4th-grade national park pass and find out how to get free admission to the national parks. Count it as a summer field trip that’s way cheaper than going to the aquarium or the arcade.
How to get your Free Pass:
Go to Every Kid Outdoors and tap “Get Your Pass.” Your 4th grader will need to fill out a “diary entry” with the things they want to see and do. This consists of answering a couple of questions that are multiple-choice.
When they’re done, you’ll see a field to type in your zip code. Then, you just print the pass.

What is the 4th Grader National Park Pass?
The 4th Grader National Park Pass allows one student (in the fourth grade) to enter national parks for free for one year. If you visit a park with an entrance fee per person, the pass will get all kids under 16 and up to three adults into the park for free. If you visit a park with a vehicle entrance fee, this pass will waive the fee (up to $35)

How do I know if my child qualifies for the 4th Grader National Park Pass?
Are they in or going into fourth grade? If so, you’re in. Your child can get the Every Kid Outdoors pass for one full year. So sign them up on Sept. 1 of their 4th-grade year, and it’s good until Aug. 31 the following year.
This is perfect for anyone planning a family road trip vacation during the summer, as you have the Every Kid Outdoors pass.
