Jim,
If you are I think 62 for $10 you can get a lifetime pass.
I got mine last year and my wife just got hers.

Free???

So.. An organization that is underfunded by congress supposedly to the tune of 8 to 10 billion U.S. Dollars is letting folks in for free. Makes perfect sense?

Well, yeah, it does. They're hoping to bring in folks that have never been to the parks before with the freebie. And then, after liking it so much, they'll come back again and again.

I've qualified for the Geezer Pass for a couple of years now. Lazy me, I finally got around to getting it the first of this month. I'll be using it next month! Sometimes it pays to get older (and smarter)

I believe the pass is good for the entire car, so each of you do not have to have a pass.
