Planning a trip to Boston National Historical Park?

Bring your printed paper voucher and present it for exchange to a park ranger at the Charlestown Navy Yard Visitor Center or Faneuil Hall Visitor Center Desk. Your printed voucher will be collected in exchange for your keepsake pass so be sure to bring your printed voucher with you!

National Parks of Boston also offers a variety of programs that fourth graders and their families can enjoy any time of year. The Junior Ranger Program is a fun way for kids (and adults!) to learn about the park by attending a ranger-led program, hiking the Freedom Trail, or participating in an interpretive program. Pick up your Junior Ranger activity booklet at one of the park's visitor centers located at the Charlestown Navy Yard Visitor Center and Faneuil Hall in Downtown Boston. Once you complete the booklet, you can be sworn in as a Junior Ranger and receive a Junior Ranger badge! Learn more about the Junior Ranger program on our website.

We look forward to seeing you at Boston National Historical Park!
