While in the park, younger visitors can pick up a free Junior Ranger Program activity booklet at two contact stations: the Visitor Center or the Ticket Booth on Hyde Street Pier.

There is an activity booklet for kids ages 5-8, and one for kids 9-12. It's a fun way for kids, and those big kids along with them, to learn about the park. The booklets are also available in Spanish.

Once the activities are completed, find a park ranger who will review the booklet with the new Junior Ranger and present them with a Junior Ranger badge.
