Florida State Parks Free Memorial Day

As the nation approaches its 250th anniversary, Florida State Parks will offer free admission on Memorial Day weekend, May 23-25, inviting visitors to enjoy the outdoors while honoring those who gave their lives in service to the United States.

Across Florida, state parks protect some of the nation’s most iconic natural and historic places. From crystal-clear springs and beaches to trails, rivers and historic landmarks, these resources offer meaningful ways to connect with the history and natural beauty that define our state.

Especially on Memorial Day weekend, consider celebrating America’s 250th anniversary by visiting a historic state park near you. You may be surprised by what you find in...the Real Florida.
