Tallahassee Thomasville, FL, November 11, 2026 — Florida State Parks will waive admission fees for all visitors on Veterans Day, observed on November 11. This initiative aims to acknowledge and honor the contributions and sacrifices of veterans and their families.
The statewide program provides an opportunity for the public to access the state’s natural and historical attractions without charge on this significant day. The waiver applies to general park entry fees, allowing individuals and families to explore the diverse landscapes and recreational opportunities available across the Florida State Park system.
However, the free admission offer does not extend to all facilities. Several specific parks are noted as exceptions to this promotion. These excluded parks include:
- Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park
- Skyway Fishing Pier State Park
- Weeki Wachee Springs State Park
Visitors planning to attend any Florida State Park on November 11 are advised to check individual park details regarding admission policies, especially if intending to visit one of the excluded locations. The primary goal of the free admission day is to show appreciation for the service of members of the armed forces and their relatives, fostering a community-wide recognition of their dedication.
