Families and aspiring Junior Rangers of all ages are invited to participate in Junior Ranger Day Saturday, May 3. This free, public event will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center in Moose and is hosted by Grand Teton National Park with support from community partners.

The indoor and outdoor event is a great way to kick off spring and is designed to spark curiosity and connection with the natural world through hands-on activities, games, and educational exhibits.

We know nature is full of incredible creatures—some we rarely see, some with amazing abilities, and some with stories that have been passed down for generations. This Junior Ranger Day, we’re exploring the mysterious animals that hide in our ecosystems, the magical adaptations that help them survive, and the mythical tales that connect people to wildlife. From camouflage to incredible senses, nature’s “superpowers” are real—and they make our world even more exciting to discover!

Junior Ranger Day activities will include:

• Park-themed games and hands-on learning stations
• The chance to meet park rangers and explore rescue vehicles such as fire engines, patrol vehicles and snowplows
• Opportunities to earn an official Junior Ranger Day badge
• Educational exhibits from partners including Teton Science Schools, Cougar Fund, National Elk Refuge, Teton Raptor Center, Wyoming Stargazing, Bridger-Teton National Forest, Teton County Library and Jackson Hole Wildlife Foundation.
