Gov. Dayton Waives State Park Entrance Fees For 'Free Park Friday'
ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) -- Gov. Mark Dayton is celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday by waiving entrance fees to Minnesota state parks and recreation areas Nov. 23.
"I wish everyone in Minnesota a very happy Thanksgiving, and recommend visiting one of Minnesota's beautiful state parks -- for free -- on Friday," Dayton said. "Like sharing a meal, going for a walk can be a great way to spend quality time with family and friends."
Because state parks offices and visitor centers will be unstaffed or minimally staffed on "Free Park Friday," several on-site and online resources will be available for visitors.
