Which Park Pass

What is Which Park Pass?

Which Park Pass is a web-based calculator that compares national park entrance fees for specific itineraries. Users input their destination parks, travel dates, group composition, and residency status. The tool then breaks down the line-by-line cost for each payment method, including pay-at-the-gate tickets, annual passes, senior discounts, and special programs like the free fourth-grade pass.

The calculator highlights specific regional rules, such as the $100 nonresident fee charged at eleven parks. It adjusts results based on whether travelers arrive by private vehicle, foot, or shuttle, and clarifies residency requirements for U.S. citizens, visa holders, and international visitors. All calculations reference official National Park Service data, and any unverified policies are clearly marked.

The site also provides example trip breakdowns to show how different groups save money with various passes. It requires no account creation and runs directly in a browser.
