Junior Ranger Day – FREE

As part of the “fun” theme for National Park Week, park rangers at Gateway Arch National Park will demonstrate Native American and pioneer toys. Pick up special Junior Ranger activities at the Gateway Arch Visitor Center front desk or Tucker Theater and complete them in the Museum to earn a Junior Ranger badge. The activities are like a scavenger hunt- participants are guided to find an exhibit and then connect that exhibit with another national park site by answering questions. They’re then guided to design their own national park.

Gateway Arch National Park Rangers will discuss the daily National Park Week themes at 2:15 p.m. each day (April 22-30) inside the Visitor Center under the Gateway Arch.
