Hawaii national parks to waive fee over Veteran’s Day weekend

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park joins national parks across the country in waiving entrance fees both Saturday and Sunday for Veterans Day weekend Saturday and Sunday.

“We invite everyone to honor the men and women who have served our country by experiencing the American heritage at your national parks,” said Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Superintendent Cindy Orlando in a press release.

Active duty U.S. military are eligible for a free annual Military Pass at the park’s entrance station. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park has dozens of veterans among its employees and volunteers. In addition, active duty and retired members of the U.S. military have enjoyed the Kilauea Military Camp, a 62-acre rest and recreation area within the park, since 1916.

Pu‘uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park in Kona and Haleakala National Park on Maui are also fee-free during Veterans Day weekend.
