The rangers here are soo friendly and helpful. Our kids got the junior ranger badges here and it was a fun activity. The gift shop is perfect and the cashier was wonderful. We had several questions about collecting the stamps and junior ranger badges for national parks and the cashier took several minutes patiently answering all of our questions. Could not have had a better experience! We purchased several souvenirs would highly recommend a stop in before you start exploring the park.
