Come celebrate National Park Week with free entrance to Yellowstone April 16 through April 24. National Park Week is an annual celebration of the parks and programs in communities nationwide that have allowed generations to discover history, nature, and wildlife in irreplaceable ways.
This year’s theme for National Park Week is “Find Your Park.” The Find Your Park campaign encourages everyone to find their own connection with the vast network of public lands and places that protect and preserve our natural and cultural heritage.
National Junior Ranger Day is on April 16. Visitors four years old and older, even adults young at heart, are invited to participate in the park’s year-round Junior Ranger Program. Junior Ranger books can be purchased for $3 at visitor centers.
Join us on April 23 for an Instameet at Old Faithful Geyser. From 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., visitors can enjoy a special ranger-led program and take photos or videos to post on Instagram (and other social media) with the hashtags: , , , .
During the week, the park will be involved in a variety of regional outreach programs, including Girls in Science on April 16 in Billings, Astronomy Day on April 17 in Bozeman, Greater Yellowstone Museum Adventure on April 20 and 21 in Cody, the Kyi Yo Powwow on April 22 and 23 in Missoula, the Gardiner Earth Day Celebration on April 23 in Gardiner, and Junior Archeologist day on April 24 in Bozeman. Rangers will visit schools, conduct distance learning programs, and host six schools from Massachusetts, Montana, Washington, and Wyoming for Expedition Yellowstone as well as three other school and youth group field trips.
