On October 8th, 2015, if you’re age 62 or older you can visit any National Park, from the Statue of Liberty to Yellowstone to Mammoth Cave and all the rest, for free. Senior Skip Day celebrates the National Park’s 100th birthday.
What’s more, a limited quantity of lifetime vouchers for National Park access is available for download. First, follow the above link and download the voucher. Do this right away before they run out. Then, on October 8th, 2015, take the voucher to any National Park Site where interagency passes are listed and you can get a lifetime pass. You’ll need to bring ID.
