Things to Do at Every National Park with Kids

1) Visitor’s Center: Always check out the Visitor’s Center to get ideas for what you can do! We always get our son a Postcard here to document his travels!

2) Junior Ranger Program-The Junior Ranger Program is so much fun for kids! They can participate in different activities at each park, get sworn in & of course, get their badge!

We have this book to keep track of all of our son’s National Park Stamps!

3) Go for a Hike! There are so many fun trails that are kid-friendly! If you need specific activities at each park, check out our kid-friendly travel guides!

PRO TIP: If you plan on visiting more than 2 parks in a year, be sure to get the “America the Beautiful Pass”
