Free entry to national parks

The National Park Service (NPS) manages 423 parks, from Acadia in Maine to Zion in Utah. Of those parks, more than 100 charge entrance fees. The rest are free. However, the NPS waives entrance fees at all parks five days a year. Here are the free dates for 2022:

  • Jan. 17: MLK Day
  • April 16: Start of National Park Week
  • Aug. 4: Anniversary of the Great American Outdoors Act
  • Sept. 24: National Public Lands Day
  • Nov. 11: Veterans Day

Free dental care

If you have a low income and a dental problem, you may be able to get free dental care in your state via Dental Lifeline. Typically, you need to lack adequate income for a dental visit and have a permanent disability, be 65 or older, or qualify as medically fragile.
