To keep the younger generation busy and educated even when school is out, the National Parks Service offers free entrance to elementary school students throughout the United States.

Fourth graders and their family members are given free admission to all of US national parks for the whole year. This means that current fourth graders who are moving on as fifth graders can still take advantage of the free admission even during summer. However, third graders who will be entering fourth grade when the next school year starts will have to wait for school to start to get their own passes.
This is still part of the ongoing campaign “Every Kid in a Park,” where young Americans can enjoy ancient dwellings, as well as the historical and natural view of the United States even when they are on a break. Not only will it serve as an educational trip, because students and their families can enjoy leisure time without having to spend a lot on trip. Students and their families can choose parks that are close to home, or they can move across states to explore new culture and heights.
Educators, fourth graders, and parents of fourth graders can visit the official website of the Na-tional Parks Service to get passes.
