Visitors to Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks can get in free on Sunday, Aug. 25 in celebration of the 97th anniversary of the National Park Service.<\/p>\n

In fact, all 401 national park units will waive entrance fees Aug. 25. The fee for a private, non-commercial vehicle to Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks normally costs $25 for seven days.<\/p>\n

To help celebrate the day in Grand Teton, Park Service “birthday cake” will be served at noon in each of the park\u2019s visitor centers, according to a statement released by the park’s public affairs office.<\/p>\n

Visitors can sample cake at the Laurance S. Rockefeller Center, Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center, Jenny Lake Visitor Center and Colter Bay Visitor Center.<\/p>\n

A traditional guitar sing-along and evening program will take place at 8:30 p.m. at the Colter Bay amphitheater. The free public program is titled, \u201cFor Future Generations: The story of America\u2019s National Parks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also in recognition of the anniversary, the Grand Teton Association is offering 20% off all items sold at bookstores located in park visitor centers.<\/p>\n

Visitors are reminded that the fee waiver applies to entrance fees only and does not affect use fees for camping or boating.<\/p>\n

In addition to the August 25th fee waiver, America’s national parks will also allow free entry on September 28 (National Public Lands Day) and November 9-11 (Veteran\u2019s Day Weekend).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
