Free Access to All 47 Canada's National Parks in 2017: 150th Anniversary Celebration

Planning a trip to Canada? Here's your perfect incentive: In 2017, all 47 national parks and reserves offer free entry from January 1 to December 31—simply request it at the gate. Incredible, right?

Celebrating the Country's 150th Birthday

This special offer marks Canada's 150th anniversary of Confederation on July 1, 2017—the historic unification of its founding territories. Parks Canada, stewards of national parks, historic sites, and marine conservation areas, provides a free Discovery Pass via their website. Daily entry typically costs CAD $7 (about €5), but the pass grants unlimited access to all sites for the entire year. Just one pass per vehicle.
