The Price to Enter U.S. National Parks to Triple for Foreign Travelers -- WSJ

Dow Jones11-26

By Allison Pohle

International visitors soon will face higher prices, potentially totaling hundreds of dollars, to visit U.S. national parks.

Beginning Jan. 1, an annual pass will cost $250 for nonresidents compared with $80 for U.S. residents, the Interior Department said Tuesday. Nonresidents currently pay the same rate as U.S. residents to visit parks. There is no change in the cost for U.S. citizens.

These entry-fee changes are described by the Interior Department as "America first." The policy also specifies that international visitors without an annual pass will need to pay a $100-per-person surcharge at 11 popular national parks, which include Acadia, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Yosemite and Zion.

Revenue generated from the new fees will support upgrades to visitor facilities, as well as park maintenance and service improvements, the Interior Department said.

"U.S. residents will continue to enjoy affordable pricing, while nonresidents will pay a higher rate to help support the care and maintenance of America's parks," the Interior Department said in a statement.

The Trump administration signaled these changes in July with an executive order directing Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to develop a plan to increase entrance fees for foreign travelers.

The Interior Department also announced 10 days in 2026 when U.S. residents can access parks for free. Nonresidents still need to pay on those occasions. Previously, fee-free days applied to all visitors.
