Youth Exploration Area

Since 2007, Mount Rushmore interpretive rangers have provided hands-on educational programs for thousands of children and their families on topics such as animals, plants, the presidents, the U.S. flags and more. In the past, the Youth Exploration Area, located off the Avenue of Flags, has consisted of a table and a temporary tent.

The construction of a permanent facility in 2013 will provide a more adequate space for expanding interpretive programming for children. Please consider giving a hand toward this project at Mount Rushmore National Memorial. See more . . .
