In celebration of National Parks Week, entry to all 392 U.S. national parks will be free April 17-25. The deal includes Everglades National Park and Dry Tortugas National Park, off Key West. Some park concessionaires also are offering special deals.
The National Park Service also reminds us that admission to many of our national parks, including Biscayne National Park in Miami, is always free.
During National Parks Week, you can also get in free at other national parks in Florida that charge admission. Some Florida national parks are always free.
National Parks Week is one of three annual events that include free national park admission. Admission fees also are waived on Public Lands Day, which will be Sept. 25 this year, and Veterans Day, which is Nov. 11.

At midnight tonight, Saturday, March 21, the long-awaited Twilight DVD will be released, giving those who love Edward and Bella’s love story a chance to watch the vampire film over and over.
Who’s got the best deal on the DVD? It may depend on what you’re looking for.
Several sources say the Target package – a 3-disc deluxe edition plus a free download of the film on iTunes — is the best deal, at $17.99.
The set includes the 2-Disc Special Edition plus an exclusive bonus disc with more than 45 minutes of never-before-seen content, including the an iTunes download of the film. The bonus content included a conversation with Stephenie Meyer, Robert Pattinson on “Becoming Edward,” Kristen Stewart on “Becoming Bella,” Catherine Hardwicke’s vampire kiss montage, Bella’s lullaby remix music video and Edward’s piano concert.
Target doesn’t appear to be having any midnight release parties in South Florida, but you can order online or get the disk in the store starting March 21.
Looking for a party? We can’t get the party locator on the official website to work, but The Miami Herald has a list of parties in Miami-Dade, Broward and the Keys in today’s Weekend section.
