Yellowstone is for family trips!

Duration

6-8 hours

About:

We love guiding families through the wilds of Yellowstone. Children have an insatiable fascination with the natural world, and we explore the many wonders of Yellowstone with them. Our Family Adventure Tour is fun and educational for children and adults alike, and showcases the hidden magic of nature in Yellowstone National Park!

We start our morning by heading out in search of wildlife in and around the Lamar Valley, looking for bison, pronghorn, birds of prey, and more*. Binoculars and spotting scopes provide us a closer look at these animals, and when searching for wildlife we never know what we might find. Later in the morning we have a chance to venture out into the wilds on a nature walk. While exploring we might find animal tracks and scat (poop!) or even bones and antlers left behind by previous inhabitants.

*If your family’s top priority is observing Yellowstone’s bears and wolves we suggest the Bear and Wolf Watching Tour, which is suitable for ages 5 and up and has an earlier start time (5AM) to better see these animals.

We can accommodate up to 10 people per vehicle/guide. This is perfectly suited for large groups and family reunions, as well as for small families.

How does the Family Adventure Tour differ from our Bear and Wolf Watching Tour?
Later start ensures kids (and parents!) are well rested
Plenty of time to engage in exploratory learning in nature
Less time searching through spotting scopes for faraway animals, which can be difficult for younger kids
Not focused on wolves and bears, though we will take advantage of sightings that we might happen upon
Children ages 2-5 allowed and encouraged on this tour, while the Bear and Wolf Tour is for ages 5 and up
