Free Park Day
Event Navigation
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources offers free admission to all 75 Minnesota state parks and recreation areas on four days each year. On Free Park Days the DNR waives the requirement for a vehicle permit to enter state parks and recreation areas. The entrance fee waiver does not cover activities like camping, rentals or tours.
The goal of Free Park Days is to get all Minnesotans outdoors.
This Free Park Day coincides with National Get Outdoors Day, which takes place annually on the second Saturday in June. For a complete list of programs, with times and locations, visit the DNR’s events calendar. All programs are free, but some require pre-registration.
For more information, contact the DNR Information Center by emailing info.dnr @ state.mn.us or by calling 888-MINNDNR (646-6367) from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, or 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
The next Free Park Day is Friday, November 29.
