Plan a trip to visit your favorite national park this weekend with free entrance June 5-6 to the parks that usually charge an entrance fee.

Here are the Florida National Parks participating:
- Canaveral National Seashore.
- Castillo de San Marcos National Monument.
- Dry Tortugas National Park.
- Everglades National Park.
- Gulf Islands National Seashore.
Don’t forget that some Florida national parks are always free.
