Grand Portage National Monument - For Kids

Grand Portage National Monument by National Parks Service

We encourage you to ask questions, but most importantly, to participate in all that we have to offer. History comes alive when you take part in an interpretive program here at Grand Portage. Park rangers will transport you back in time, where you can become part of the story that unfolds before you!

These programs range in length from 20 to 60 minutes. Be sure to check the "Programs" sign next to the main gate for program topics, locations and starting times.

Children under the age of 7, or those with special needs, will require the assistance of an adult
