This self-guided program gives children the opportunity to learn about Ellis Island and our nation's heritage and become a Junior Park Ranger. This activity booklet will take you through the historic Immigration Station where children learn the importance of protecting and preserving this National Monument. The booklet takes about 1 hour to complete and is available here or free at the Ellis Island Information Desk. This program is recommended for kids ages 7-12. Children can ask Park Rangers how they can help preserve America's heritage. This is an on-site program only and cannot be completed electronically or by mail.
Kids: Don't forget to participate in the National Park Service's nationwide Junior Ranger Program. Become a WEBRANGER. Visit us online at: www.nps.gov/webrangers

Did You Know?
When Ellis Island was opened in 1892, the facility bore little resemblance to the French Renaissance structure that people have come to know today. Made out of Georgia pine, the complex caught fire in 1897 and burned to the ground. The current building was opened on December 17, 1900.
