Tucson, AZ – Enjoy the spring weather in your backyard national park, with free admission into Saguaro National Park this holiday weekend.\ "Saguaro National Park is one of over 400 national park sites across the nation waiving entrance fees Saturday thru Monday, February 14-16 to celebrate Presidents Day," according to Andy L. Fisher, Chief of Interpretation at Saguaro National Park. "Saguaro National Park is proud to be part of America's national heritage, which we collectively celebrate on this holiday". In addition to free entrance into the park, Western National Parks Association (WNPA) will offer a 15% discount on all book and gift sales to all visitors in both of Saguaro National Park's visitor centers. Active duty members of the U.S. Military and their dependents are reminded that they may be issued a free America the Beautiful pass any day between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at either visitor center. This pass will permit the pass owner, and up to 3 other adults traveling with them, entrance into all National Parks for 12 months. They must show a current, valid military identification card to qualify for the pass. Additional passes are available to anyone for purchase. Inquire inside either visitor center for additional information. Please remember that the fee free weekend waives entrance fees only. Additional user fees, such as backcountry camping permit fees, still apply. For more information on Saguaro National Park, please visit the park's website at www.nps.gov/sagu. |
