In-Park Junior Ranger Activities

Weir Farm National Historical Park is a fun place for kids to explore and learn! Complete one of the following activities during your next visit to the park to earn a Junior Ranger badge; complete more than one to earn a special Junior Ranger patch. The park keeps Junior Ranger materials on the back porch of the Visitor Center, so you can earn your Junior Ranger badge even during off-hours.

  • Explore:

    Explore Weir Farm with our Scavenger Hunt Activity.

  • Weir Pond Wonders:

    Follow the stops on a hike to Weir Pond and discover the natural and man-made treasures along the way… if you look very closely.

  • Let's Go Letterboxing:

    Use clues to navigate the landscape and locate five hidden containers, or letterboxes, which contain stamps.
    This Junior Ranger activity can only be picked up, in season, at the front desk of the Visitor Center. Currently unavailable for the off-season.

 

Become a Weir Farm Virtual Junior Ranger from Home!

We are offering a virtual Junior Ranger program that you can do at home! Explore the park website and learn about Weir Farm's historical and cultural resources.
