Interactive World National Parks Map

Explore 22,595 national parks and protected areas across 217 countries and territories on one interactive map. Search for a specific park, filter by country or rating, and click any marker to open that park's details. Every park links to its own page, which shows its scores, photos and wiki article where we have them. Unrated parks appear as grey markers.

How to Use This Map

Each marker represents a single park plotted at its recorded coordinates. Markers are color-coded by overall rating across seven tiers: dark green (80 to 100, Exceptional), green (70 to 79, Excellent), light green (60 to 69, Great), yellow-green (50 to 59, Good), gold (40 to 49, Average), orange (30 to 39, Below Average), and red (0 to 29, Poor). Grey markers indicate parks that have not yet been rated.

When parks are close together, they group into numbered clusters. Zoom in or click a cluster to expand it into individual markers. Use the control bar to filter by country, park classification, or minimum rating. Try filtering to a single country to plan a trip, or set the minimum rating to 80 to find only top-rated destinations.
