Young people have so many opportunities to find joy and education in our park. Wonder at the secret world beneath the waves at our tidepools! Follow in the footsteps of American soldiers at the American Camp Parade Ground! Take a land-based whale watching tour!

The historical and natural treasures that make our park special are a delight for all ages. Young people especially enjoy observing foxes, eagles, and orcas or wandering our beaches. Bring your young visitor to our park so that they can share in its wonders!
