Interested in planning a trip to Great Falls Park? These pages contain information to help plan a trip and details on the educational programs the park offers.

If you are interested in a Ranger-led program, details for specific programs can be found on the ranger guided webpage. Contact the park, either by phone or fax, to let us know what you would like to do for your program. 

After we receive information from you, we will check our scheduling calendar and staffing situation for the dates you are interested in. A staff member will contact you to let you know if we can assist you with your request.

Educational programs are generally limited to 25 students per park ranger. Programs require adult supervision from your organization (generally one adult per ten children). Programs will start and end at the agreed upon time.  Group programs are generally scheduled Monday through Friday.  Due to prescheduled programs on Saturday and Sunday for the general public, weekend requests can rarely be filled.

All programs are free, but groups should schedule with us at least three to four weeks in advance, since dates fill quickly, especially in the early fall and late spring. In order for us to have the best chance at accommodating your request, please send in your request one month in advance of the day on which you would like to have your program.
