The Junior Ranger Program is an enjoyable way for kids and families to learn how to keep Glacier National Park wild and beautiful.

Stop by the Apgar, St. Mary, or Logan Pass Visitor Centers, or the Apgar Nature Center, and pick up a free Junior Ranger Activity Booklet. There is a pre-reader version of the booklet for our youngest junior rangers. Children (and maybe parents too!) will be challenged to complete the activities and earn an official Glacier Junior Ranger Badge.

Families visiting Glacier National Park often seek unique experiences and activities. The Apgar Nature Center, located in Apgar Village, provides exciting learning opportunities designed specifically for families, including hands-on exhibits, youth-based activities, and ranger-led programs. Whether you want to touch a grizzly bear’s claw, feel a wolf’s pelt, hold a fossil, or discover other park treasures, the Apgar Nature Center offers something special for all ages and interests. Open daily, beginning June 15, from 10 am to 4 pm.
