(NEXSTAR) — For five days this year, all national parks will be offering free admission to all visitors. One of those special days is nearly upon us. The National Park Service announced the 2023 free days late last year. There are more than 400 parks, monuments, seashores and other NPS lands, the majority of which do not require an entrance fee. For the roughly 100 that do, these free admission days open the gates to everyone.

The act, GAOA, was signed in 2020 and brought bipartisan investments to "improve visitor experiences, bolster climate resilience, and invest in the economy by creating good-paying jobs" at the parks, the Department of the Interior ex...
