Beginning June 14, 2026, the U.S. National Park Service will offer free entry on select holidays, including Donald Trump’s birthday and Flag Day, following a July 2025 executive order to enhance park accessibility for U.S. residents.This initiative introduces new fees for international visitors, including a $100 entry fee at 11 high-traffic parks for those without an annual pass, while "patriotic fee-free days" are established for U.S. residents.Critics, such as Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and Representative Gregory Meeks, have condemned the policy, with some labeling it "raw and sickening racism" and accusing it of prioritizing "flatter[ing] Trump's ego" over family needs, while also removing Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth as free entry days.
