Faleasao Elementary School kids visit the National Park of American Samoa.
 

The National Park of American Samoa can be a wonderland of exploration and understanding for children of all ages. Kids visiting with their families can hike and explore (with adult supervision) any of our short trails or beautiful beaches. Learning about the Samoan culture can also be a unique opportunity for children. Students and youth groups are often involved in field trips in the park. Sometimes lead by group leaders, but often by park rangers, these students learn about the terrestrial, marine and cultural resources preserved in the park.

Samoan fruit bats hanging at rest

Did You Know?
Throughout the Pacific the main reason for the rarity of the two fruit bat species, or flying foxes, is that it is widely sought as a food and considered a delicacy. Sale or trade in fruit bats is now illegal in the U.S. and its territories.
