Junior Ranger Program

To download a copy of the Ellis Island Junior Ranger booklet, click here.

This self-guided program gives children the opportunity to become a Junior Park Ranger while learning about Ellis Island and our nation's heritage. This activity booklet will take you through the historic Immigration Station where children will learn the importance of protecting and preserving this National Monument. The booklet takes about 1 hour to complete and is available here or free at the Ellis Island Information Desk. This program is recommended for kids ages 7-12. Children can ask Park Rangers how they can help preserve America's heritage. Although you can download the booklet prior to your arrival at the park, this is an on-site program only and cannot be completed electronically or by mail.

Kids: Don't forget to participate in the National Park Service's nationwide Junior Ranger Program. Become a WEBRANGER. Visit us here online.
