I'm guessing it is free-but I will call to verify when they are open! But got this off the website here: Join the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation for a day of service, celebration, and a sneak peek of the Ken Burns film, The National Parks: America’s Best Idea premiering the next night on PBS. September 26 is also National Public Lands Day and entrance to all 391 national parks is free!
