Junior Ranger programs at the Arch and Old Courthouse
The Junior Ranger program at Gateway Arch National Park is designed to help young visitors learn about the people, places, and events throughout more than 200 years of St. Louis’ history. Junior Ranger activities help connect young visitors to the park's resources and encourage them to become active stewards of their national parks.
Junior Ranger activity books are available at the information desks at the Gateway Arch National Park Visitor Center. Children ages five through thirteen can earn a badge by completing activities in a Junior Ranger booklet. Once activities are completed share with a Ranger at the Entry Desk or the Tucker Theater Desk to receive your badge.
Please Note: We are unable to mail Junior Ranger books at this time.
For more information about the Junior Ranger program, please contact the Education Department at 314-655-1658.
