Families and children of all ages are invited to participate in Glacier National Park’s Junior Ranger Days during National Park Week.

The first celebration will take place on Saturday, April 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Apgar Visitor Center. The second celebration will take place on Saturday, April 27, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Medicine Spring Library at Blackfeet Community College in Browning. Both events are free and open to the public. 

The events will include indoor and outdoor fun for the whole family. Participants can interact with rangers, compete in Animal Olympics, dress as a park ranger, learn how to talk on park radios, and much more. All children who participate in activities can earn a Junior Ranger related prize.

Junior Ranger Day is made possible in part with support from the Glacier National Park Conservancy. The non-profit park partner will offer a discount on merchandise in the Apgar Visitor Center bookstore on Saturday, April 20.

National Park Week is April 20 through April 28. To kick off National Park Week and to encourage everyone to enjoy their national parks in person, entrance fees to all parks will be waived on April 20.
