Pretty sure I've only been to Haleakala (Maui)
Oh, I guess the USS Arizona is at a national park too. Been there too. (Edit: Actually it's not. It's just on their map)
Edit: I've been to Gettysburg "National Military Park" and Delaware Water Gap "National Recreation Area"

I've been to 24 of the places on the National Park Service site, but that includes national military parks, battlefields, memorials, monuments, cemetaries, trails, seashores, etc.

Quite a few. Great for photography. Wish I lived closer to them though. Ohio is probably one of the worst places to live if you like the national parks.

1. Yellowstone
2. Grand Tetons
3. Banff (in Canada, awesome)
4. Crater Lake
5. Mt. Rainier
6. Olympic
7. Kings Canyon / Sequoia
8. Canyonlands
9. Arches
10. Great Sand Dunes
11. Rocky Mountain
12. Everglades
13. Shenandoah
14. Yosemite
15. Dinosaur
16. Badlands
17. Mesa Verde
18. Smokey Mountain
19. Mammoth Cave
20. Cuyahoga - in Ohio, IMO doesn't deserve to be a national park.

National Parks are some of my favorite travel destinations, so I've been to quite a few:

Acadia
Arches
Bryce Canyon
Canyonlands
Capitol Reef
Carlsbad Caverns
Everglades
Grand Canyon
Great Sand Dunes
Guadalupe Mountains
Mammoth Cave
Mount Rainier
North Cascades
Olympic
Petrified Forest
Rocky Mountain
Saguaro
Shenandoah
Yellowstone (Supervolcano!)
Zion

That's 20 - it's possible that I visited a few more that I don't remember as a child. Many of these are some of the most amazing and breathtaking places in the world.

Probably a dozen national parks, more if you count the other listed places.
Mt Rainier, North Cascades, Olympic here in WA.
Crater Lake in OR.
Mt Lassen and Yosemite in CA.
Glacier bay, Wrangell-St Elias, Kenai Fjords in AK.
Several flying trips to Yellowstone and Grand Teton in Wyoming. It is less than 3 hours from here by plane.

I've been to ~35-40 of them. Most of the ones I haven't visited are in Alaska. I've also been to a lot of the "other" parks (military parks, national monuments, etc.) I've done a lot of hiking in almost all the ones I've visited. That is basically how my wife and I spend every vacation, except for the occasional Vegas trip.

Talladega National Park? That park doesn't exist in the US. Maybe you are thinking about a state park?

Living in Utah there's already 5 national parks and several others close by, plus my parents took me camping a lot when I was younger.

Definately not happy that they raised the price of the parks pass so much.

None and I don't really see that changing in the future unless I happen by one some day.
