For Kids

We Make Learning Fun!

The park is a cool place for kids to learn about what happened in Ohio during the last 10,000 years. At the Mound City Group Visitor Center, kids can talk to a Park Ranger, wander through the park's exhibits, watch our interpretive film about the Hopewell culture, or stroll around the mounds. Kids can also learn about the plants and animals that live in the park by walking the trails around the Mound City Group Visitor Center.

The park also hosts activities throughout the year to educate kids about the cultural and natural resources at the park. To learn more about fun activities like the Junior Ranger program, contact the park or click on any of the kids links below.
