MN Free Parks Day

Saturday, April 26, 2025
12:00 AM - 11:59 PM
All MN State Parks

On four days each year, all Minnesota state parks and state recreation areas offer free admission to everyone - no vehicle permits needed!

 

Here are the fee-free dates in 2025:

 

  • Monday, January 20
  • Saturday, April 26
  • Saturday, June 14
  • Friday, November 28

Minnesota state parks are open year-round, and there's a state park within 30 miles of most Minnesotans. With a free day in each season, it's a great opportunity to get out there and explore someplace new - or visit an old favorite at a new time of year! Whether you stay for the whole weekend or just spend a few hours outside, you'll make memories that will last a lifetime.

 

The entrance fee waiver for fee-free days does not cover amenity or user fees for activities like camping, rentals, or special tours.
