WASHINGTON, D.C. – Changes are coming to the National Park Service’s free admission days next year, impacting when visitors can enter without paying.
According to the National Park Service website, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth are no longer listed as free admission days. This marks a shift for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which has been a free admission day for years.
In place of these days, new additions have been made. September 17, Constitution Day, and June 14, Flag Day—which is also President Donald Trump’s birthday—are now among the days with waived admission fees.
Juneteenth, which commemorates the end of slavery, was only added as a free admission day last year.
Officials noted that these free admissions will apply solely to U.S. citizens and residents.
