National parks nationwide will be waiving fees on Tuesday in honor of the start of summer.
“The longest day of the year is the perfect time to take a short trip. Celebrate an extended Father’s Day with Dad, the start of summer break with the kids, or a job well done with your favorite graduate,” National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis said in a news release. “With 394 national parks across the country, you could opt to visit an old favorite or explore a new place. Find a reason to get outside and enjoy the extra sunshine at a national park near you.”
Park entrance fees — at the parks that charge fees — generally range from $3 to $25.
National Parks in Georgia that normally have fees include the Augusta Canal National Heritage Area in Augusta, the Cumberland Island National Seashore in St. Marys, Fort Frederica National Monument on St. Simons Island and Fort Pulaski National Monument in Savannah.
