Access Pass – Provides Free Admission to National Parks


From the U.S. Geological Survey

If you or a family member have a disability and enjoy visiting our national parks, you may qualify for free admission. The U.S. Dept. of Interior offers something called an Access Pass – it replaces the old Golden Access Passport for those already familiar with our parks system. The Access Pass is for citizens or permanent residents of the United States, regardless of age, who have been medically determined to have a permanent disability. It provides access to, and use of, any Federal recreation site that charges an Entrance or Standard Amenity Fee and provides a discount on some Expanded Amenity Fees. The pass must be obtained in person.
