Grand Canyon with Kids

By taking your children to the Grand Canyon, you are offering them the unique experience of seeing and adventuring through one of the most magnificent and amazing natural wonders of the world.

This national park is open throughout the year; however, in the spring and summer time, hundreds of thousands of people frequent the area. In the winter months, the weather may prove to be extreme and complications with snow and ice may occur; however, in the fall months, visitor populations are down, weather conditions are favorable, and it makes for the ideal time to experience the true beauty and appeal that the Grand Canyon has to offer! In this guide, you will be introduced to a few activities that will make the Grand Canyon with kids trip highly exciting!

The Bearizona Drive-Thru Wildlife Park

If you and your family have a natural appreciation for wildlife, you will all enjoy a 3-mile drive through the amazing Bearizona Wildlife Park. Here, you will get to observe various types of bears, large bison, sheep, wolves, and more! On your adventure, you can tour the amazing Fort Bearizona, which includes baby versions of the adult wildlife and smaller-sized animals, up close and personal.

This tour can be done from the comfort of your vehicle and lasts approximately 45 minutes. In addition to the wildlife observation, your family will get the opportunity to see the High-Country Raptors show which will expound on the birds of prey in and around the Grand Canyon. These birds will then fly directly overhead!
