What about Senior, Military, Access, or other specialty passes?Updated 3 months ago

US Park Pass only sells the America the Beautiful Annual Pass. We do not sell Senior, Military, Access, Veteran, or 4th Grade passes.

If You're Eligible for a Specialty Pass

If you qualify for one of these passes, do not purchase our Annual Pass — the specialty pass is a better deal for you. Here's a quick overview:

  • Senior Pass: For U.S. citizens and permanent residents age 62+. Available as a $20 annual or $80 lifetime pass.
  • Military Pass: Free annual pass for current U.S. military members and dependents.
  • Access Pass: Free lifetime pass for U.S. citizens and permanent residents with permanent disabilities.
  • Veteran Pass: Free annual pass for veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces.
  • 4th Grade Pass: Free annual pass for U.S. 4th graders and their families through the Every Kid Outdoors program.

How to Get a Specialty Pass

These passes must be obtained directly — either in person at a federal recreation site or, for some pass types, online. Visit our info page for eligibility details and links:
