Understand Parks Canada passes and admission
What does a Parks Canada Discovery Pass cover?
Parks Canada offers a Discovery Pass for participating destinations and other location-specific admission options. Admission does not reserve a campsite or cover separately charged camping and services. Provincial and city parks use their own arrangements.
Where to begin
- Choose the Parks Canada destination and visit dates.
- Compare the applicable daily, single-location and Discovery Pass options on the official admission page.
- Check separately for camping, activity reservations or other charges before buying.
Before you open the official service
- The destination or area you want to visit.
- Your intended date and whether you need day use, camping or a particular facility.
Keep your actual documents and account details off this website. Use the official service’s current checklist before applying.
What to check for your situation
A park listing is not a live opening or campsite-availability check. Check the actual destination’s alerts, operating dates and permit or booking requirements.
Fees, processing times and document rules can change. This page helps you navigate; it does not confirm eligibility or replace the government’s instructions.
