Children can have fun, learn about the park, and earn their Junior Ranger badge. The booklet is designed for ages 6-12, but children of all ages are welcome.

Step 2: Complete at least four activites. You will be given a pencil and there will be benches to sit down.
Step 3: Once the activites are complete, show your guide to the ranger or volunteer sitting at the information desk to be sworn in as an official Junior Ranger! You'll receive a certificate which you can get stamp and a badge. A helpful hint: be ready to share with the ranger all you have learned from your visit!
