DEATH VALLEY, CA – November 11, 2019 is Veterans Day and park entrance fees are waived at all National Parks including Death Valley. We appreciate the commitment and sacrifice of America’s military service members. The entrance fee waiver does not cover overnight camping fees.

“We are excited to see park visitors enjoy Death Valley National Park with reduced costs for their trip,” said Superintendent Mike Reynolds. “We thank veterans around the country for their service and hope veterans and their families can visit Death Valley.”

Death Valley National Park will have five entrance fee-free days in 2020: 

• January 20 – Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
• April 18 – First day of National Park Week/National Junior Ranger Day
• August 25 – National Park Service Birthday
• September 26 – National Public Lands Day
• November 11 – Veterans Day

“Across the country, more than 400 national parks preserve significant natural and cultural areas, each one an important piece of our national identity,” said National Park Service Deputy Director David Vela. “Free entrance days serve as additional motivation for people to get outside and enjoy these places of inspiration and recreation.”
