Yeah, but it's dirt cheap with an Annual Pass and provides incredible bang for the buck as
@jk7707 has noted a couple of times in other threads.
The National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass Series is your ticket to more than 2,000 federal recreation sites, covering entrance, standard amenity, and day-use fees.

So $80 gets you into any and every park an unlimited number of times for an entire year. For a couple, family, or group of people, it's actually cheaper than going to watch a movie at the cinema for a mere couple of hours, and is considerably more affordable than the one-time, one day entry cost to basically any amusement park, zoo, carnival, concert, sporting event, or privately owned and operated attraction that all charge on a per person basis.
As a general rule, the GOAT level American national parks are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year -- if possible. The remote locations of some of them combined with inclement weather in the winter and intentionally limited supporting infrastructure means that they aren't always that accessible year-round but it would be wildly dangerous and irresponsible to not temporarily close them off.
