A photo collage of mountainous national parks in the Pacific Northwest. In one photo, a Black family is visiting a national park. In another photo, an older adult in a wheelchair and their caretaker are visiting a state park.

From lush temperate rainforests and rugged coastlines to alpine meadows and glacier-capped peaks, the Pacific Northwest is home to an abundance of diverse state and national parks. During select holidays throughout the year, entrance to some parks are free. These fee-free days provide a great opportunity to visit a new place or an old favorite.

Note: Free days apply only to day-use fees, not overnight stays or rented facilities and typically do not include Sno-Parks.

Free and Discounted Passes

Some groups—such as veterans, older adults, and foster families—are also eligible to receive free or discounted passes to national and state parks. See the bottom of this page for more details.
