Attention bargain hunters: Now is your big chance to go to a national park for free.
On Saturday and Sunday, the National Park Service will waive entrance fees at 146 national-park sites that normally charge $3 to $25 for admission. (Another 246 national parks, landmarks, and historic sites are always free.)
Entrance fees were already waived during two stints earlier this year, but this is the only time for free admission during the summer, a prime time for many families to take a trip.
