For Kids

Kids
Kids enjoy amphitheater programs such as this special presentation of "Conrad's Great Adventure", a puppet show about water conservation.
 

Glen Canyon is a great family destination. The rock formations will delight, and the water will excite kids as well as adults. There are an abundance of opportunities for children to get out of the car and explore.

Kids also enjoy the short interpretive talks and walks offered spring through fall. Stop at the visitor center to check current schedules, and take some time to view the exhibits and perhaps the park's orientation video.

It takes two to tango, but three to ski: driver, skier, and observer. Keep a brilliant orange flag up when someone's in the water. Never ski after dark.
