Junior Naturalist Day

Grandfather Mountain has an elite team of naturalists, dedicated to the preservation and conservation of the park’s numerous ecological communities — and the flora and fauna that call them home. But they can’t do it alone. Celebrate Junior Naturalists and welcome more to its numbers with the annual Junior Naturalist Day (formerly Junior Ranger Day). A day’s worth of special programming is designed to spark participants’ curiosity about the natural world. Guests will also be able to meet some critters up close and personal around the Wilson Center for Nature Discovery.

Activities are designed for ages 5-12, but all ages are welcome. It is recommended that those wishing to participate in Junior Naturalist Day purchase park tickets in advance. To purchase tickets, click here.
