Become an Independence Junior Ranger

Independence National Historical Park

There are three ways to become a Junior Ranger at Independence National Historical Park. Ready for the challenge...and the fun?

The park offers a Junior Ranger map. Families visiting the park can learn more about the sites using the Junior Ranger map. Pick up a map in the Independence Visitor Center and then find historical places, objects, and documents in the park to spark discussions with family or friends. Participants earn badges. The Junior Ranger app gives kids a way to interact with the park's stories on their mobile device. Search for "Independence Junior Ranger" in the App Store (for iPhone and iPad only). It's a free download! The young - and young at heart - will enjoy "ringing" the Liberty Bell on this app. Not to mention how much fun you can have dressing up yourself (or your pet) in virtual colonial costume. Participants earn certificates. At home or school? Take the online Junior Ranger Challenge to learn about the park's stories. Kids earn Junior Ranger badge stickers through the mail. They are spiffy! *Note: While the park appreciates our Junior Ranger enthusiasts, maps and badges are not available through the mail. Thank you for your understanding!
