Event Description

Free entrance days to all Minnesota state parks

Minnesota state parks are open year-round, and there’s a state park within 30 miles of most Minnesotans and 8 North Shore State Parks. With a free day in each season, it’s a great opportunity to get out there and explore someplace new – or visit an old favorite at a new time of year! Whether you stay for the whole weekend or just spend a few hours outside, you’ll make memories that will last a lifetime.

The entrance fee waiver for fee-free days does not cover amenity or user fees for activities like camping, rentals, or special tours.

The other free dates are April 26, June 15 and November 28, 2025.
