For Kids

The park is a great place for kids to explore. Kids can learn about the cultural and natural resources of the park by attending special ranger-led programs for kids or by participating in the park's Junior Ranger program. Have your child become an "official" Junior Ranger by successfully completing a booklet filled with educational activities. This booklet is available at the Mound City Group Visitor Center.

For more information or for a schedule of kid-friendly programs, contact the staff at the Visitor Center by phone at 740-774-1126 or by e-mail.
