It really is a great deal, especially for the ‘big’ parks, with admission fees of $20.
Also, super ‘related’ posts on this page!

I never knew they had this, although most aren’t that expensive it can add up, so heck yes I’m taking advantage of this blog post. Thanks!

I took advantage of these days during 2011. It was a great excuse to get the family out and enjoy some of our nations treasures. The only disadvantage of going on these days is that everyone else is too and the parks tend to be very busy and overcrowded.
