Do you have a 4th grader? If so, I hope you have heard of Every Kid in a Park. If not, here are the details. This is a great program to get your family out of the house for FREE this summer! The pass is done by school year, so you need to be an outgoing 4th Grader, not incoming. Incoming 4th Graders can get their pass in September and use it next summer! Get your pass HERE.
The Every Kid in a Park Program gives 4th Graders, and their families, free admission to over 2,000 federally managed parks. The pass admits all children under 16 and up to three adults for free. The official rules can be found HERE. The pass expires 8/31/2017.
This program is nationwide so you can fill your days here at home, or visit some national parks while you are away on vacation. Already planning a road trip? Now you can stop at even more parks and landmarks along your way without the extra expense!
You can find a complete list of participating parks and other places HERE. In addition, some great local day trip options are also listed below.
