For Kids

National parks are great places to just be a kid (no matter how old you are).

National parks are places for people of all ages- those who are young in years and those who are young at heart!

Don't let your parents have all of the fun. Ask your parents to stop by one of the visitor centers at nearby New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, talk to a park ranger and find out if there are any special activities planned for kids.
