Picture
Hey, fourth graders! Are you ready for an adventure?
The California State Park Adventure Pass is just for you. See how you can visit some of the most amazing parks in the country with your family and friends—for free.
​
What?
In partnership with the First Partner’s Office and the Natural Resources Agency, State Parks is offering the California State Park Adventure Pass, which provides free entry for fourth graders and their families at 54 amazing state parks throughout the state. Mountains, deserts, forests, rivers … the choice of where to visit is yours. Learn more about the California State Park Adventure Pass.

Who?
You (a fourth grader from California attending a public school), your family (up to three adults and other kids) and friends (everyone in your car) can enjoy all sorts of adventures at 54 state parks during your whole fourth grade year—and the following summer, too. This pass is valid for the one-year period during which the child is a fourth grader or fourth grade equivalent attending a public school, from September 1 to August 31 of that year. For full terms and conditions, click here.

How?
Have your parent or guardian go to ReserveCalifornia.com or call (800) 444-7275. All they have to do is set up a profile by providing their name, address, phone number and email address, and we will send them your free California State Park Adventure Pass to their email right away! For individuals who do not have access to a smartphone, computer or printer and/or do not have an email address, they can still get a pass by visiting a State Parks Pass Sales Office. Click here for a list of Pass Sales Office locations.
