Free Admission to National Parks for 4th Graders
Free annual pass for all families with 4th graders
The national government has created the Every Kid In a Park program to promote outdoor adventures and learn history and culture while doing it. All families with a 4th grader are eligible to receive a free pass! (Families without 4th graders will need to pay $80.)
To get your free pass, go to www.everykidinapark.gov and have your fourth grader answer a few fun questions about the outdoors. After that, you'll get a paper pass that you can print out or trade in for a plastic annual pass. There are many national parks right here in Georgia, even some in Cobb County! |
