On August 25, 2016, the National Park Service will celebrate its 100th anniversary. In 2015, the newly renovated Albright Visitor Center in Mammoth Hot Springs reopened to the public with all new exhibits. Named to honor the legacy of Horace Albright, the first Superintendent of Yellowstone and the second Director of the National Park Service, the building served as a museum, an archive, and even a post office before becoming the Albright Visitor Center in 1979. As the National Park Service looks toward our second century of service, we are committed to connecting with and encouraging the next generation of park visitors, supporters, and advocates. Carve time into your travel plans to attend a ranger walk, talk, or evening program. Our summer offerings begin Memorial Day weekend and run through Labor Day weekend. Ranger programs change seasonally, check the current schedule. Step inside a visitor center and explore the exhibits and interpretive offerings. Encourage your child to complete a Junior Ranger or Young Scientist activity booklet.
