About America's National Parks
Walk into a visitor center at almost any national park and there's a good chance the store you're standing in is run by this nonprofit, not the Park Service itself. America's National Parks partners with the NPS to operate retail shops in around 170 parks, and the proceeds get funneled back into education and preservation work rather than to outside owners.
Beyond the physical stores, the organization publishes the Passport To Your National Parks guidebook that a lot of park-hoppers use to collect cancellation stamps, and it runs some tours and educational programs on top of retail. It's a good option if you want a gift or souvenir that actually funds park programs instead of generic tourist merchandise. Keep in mind the online catalog is smaller than what you'll find walking through an actual park store, so don't expect the full in-person selection to show up on the site.
What they sell
- The Passport To Your National Parks® guidebook and cancellation stamp sets
- Park-branded apparel, patches, and pins
- Field guides and educational books about wildlife and geology
- Souvenirs and gifts tied to specific parks and monuments
- Tickets for select tours and educational programs
