National Park Service removes MLK Day and Juneteenth as free admission holidays

The National Park Service has removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from its list of free admission days, adding Constitution Day and Flag Day instead. President Trump’s birthday is also now a free admission day. Entrance fees, typically around $35 per vehicle, will still apply to foreign visitors. The changes coincide with the administration’s focus on eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Juneteenth was added as a free admission day last year to commemorate the end of slavery.
