Go outside and play: MN state parks waive entry fee on Get Outdoors Day
Need some incentive to get outdoors this Saturday? How about free admission to all of Minnesota's state parks?
Saturday is National Get Outdoors Day and to mark the occasion, Minnesota's 75 state parks and recreation areas are all offering free admission. On most days, the state charges $5 for a daily vehicle permit, including motorcycles.
Special activities are also planned throughout the day to introduce parks-goers to activities like geocaching, kayaking and camping.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources says there's a state park within 30 miles of most Minnesotans.
