## How to get free entries

First, order a [Discovery Pass](http://www.commandesparcs-parksorders.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?urlRequestType=Base&catalogId=53407&categoryId=216870&productId=524527&errorViewName=ProductDisplayErrorView&urlLangId=-1&langId=-1&top_category=216870&parent_category_rn=216870&storeId=22953) on Parks Canada. It&#39;s completely free and sent to mailboxes all over the world. When traveling around Canada, always carry it with you or behind the car&#39;s front window. If you are traveling with your family or in a group and want to stay together all the time, one card is enough for everyone.

_Discovery Pass is only applied to locations managed by Parks Canada. But they are blessed.
  _ The card can only be used for entrances to parks and monuments.
  \* All other services that are normally paid beyond admission, such as parking, sightseeing tours, tour guides or tents, are not covered by the Discovery Pass.
