There are more than 400 national parks across the country of different shapes, sizes, and purposes for people to enjoy. A lot of these sites have presidential history in them—memorials, monuments, homes, or places where presidents made history. Explore, learn, and protect these special places by becoming a Junior Ranger! Most national parks have Junior Ranger badges that you can get in the park or virtual badges that you can collect from home. For more fun, also look at our Junior Ranger page for presidential parks in Washington, DC.
