Are you ready for an adventure with your fourth grader?
The California State Park Adventure Pass is just for you. See how your family can visit some of the most amazing parks in the country—for free!
California's State Parks office is offering the California State Park Adventure Pass, which provides free entry for fourth graders and their families at 54 amazing state parks. Mountains, deserts, forests, rivers … the choice of where to visit is yours.
The benefits are many! Studies from the Children and Nature Organization indicate that access to parks and greenspace can lead to improvements in children’s physical well-being, social emotional learning and academic outcomes, with children experiencing reduced stress and demonstrating more enthusiasm for school.
Getting a free pass online is simple. All that is needed is a name, address, phone number and an email address. Individuals without access to a smartphone, computer or printer, and/or do not have an email address can still get a pass by visiting a State Parks Pass Sales Office—click here for a list of locations—or by calling (800) 444-7275.
