Chris Pratt Battles Park Over Escalating Baggage Fees — And Your Wallet Could Be Next
A viral video of actor Chris Pratt arguing with a national park staff over skyrocketing baggage fees has ignited a firestorm of consumer outrage. The “Guardians of the Galaxy” star was reportedly charged a surprise $150 fee for carrying his son’s backpack into a protected federal area, a policy he claims is a “hidden tax on families.” Pratt’s team has launched a petition demanding the National Park Service cap daily fees at $10 per visitor, but experts warn that if the celebrity-backed push fails, everyday hikers and tourists could see similar charges triple by next summer. For now, check your receipts and pack light—your next family adventure could cost you more than just gas money.
