For Kids
Illustration by Inge Wessels There's always something special going on for kids at the park. Sing a sea chantey, create a maritime craft, earn a Junior Ranger badge, and take the wheel of a 19th century sailing ship. Check the Schedule of Events for program dates and times. Pick up a free park newspaper and check out the kids' page on the back. Kids ages 5-12 can pick up a free Junior Ranger Program activity booklet at the ticket booth or in the Visitor Center. Learn about the park and earn a badge. Explore the exhibits in the Visitor Center and stroll down Hyde Street Pier. Have a picnic and play on the beach. See if you can spot the ten most common birds that live at the park. Here is a check list with a FUN FACT about each one! |
