Children age 8 through 14 can earn a badge or patch by doing the "Mystery of the Talking Walls." Under adult supervision, children follow a map and gather clues; they then have to DECODE a secret message. A version is available in Braille and in large text format for visually-impaired youth. Spanish version also available. Allow 1 1/2 to 2 hours to complete. We also have a Junior Ranger Program for children under 8. Free of charge
