Free admission coming in national parks

ShareThis

In a bid to boost visits this summer, the National Park Service is eliminating admission fees during three weekends at 147 sites across the country.
The park service announced Tuesday that fees, which range from $3 to $25, are being waived in the hopes of giving an economic boost to communities neighboring its parks, monuments and recreation areas.
For example, the three weekends will be free at Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, Badlands National Park and Jewel Cave National Monument in South Dakota, Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa and Isle Royale National Park in the Michigan waters of Lake Superior.
