The world’s first national park, Yellowstone National Park, was established on March 1, 1872 by President Ulysses Grant. Forty-four years later, on August 25, 1916, the National Park Service was established by Congress. Today there are fifty-eight National Parks in the United States and its territories. How many have you visited?

National Geographic Kids: National Parks

“Ready for an adventure? Take this quiz to find out which United States national park should be at the top of your travel list. Then explore our national parks page to get the dirt on your perfect park.” Visit this NatGeo mini-site to play some games, take some quizzes, and discover a few of our national parks.

National Parks Conservation Association

The National Parks Conservation Association’s mission is to protect our national parks by educating politicians and the public about the parks’ importance. Visit to explore both the cause (learn about biodiversity and wildlife threats) and the parks (with the park finder or slide show.) My favorite clicks are Park Wildlife, NCPA Magazine (link at the bottom of the page) and the twelve awesome wallpaper photos.

National Park Service

The official National Park Service is my pick of the week because of the variety of its resources. Highlights include a park directory (from Abraham Lincoln Birthplace to Zion National Park), a listing of all the National Park kids and game pages (look for GoZone in Interpretation and Education), the huge Nature & Science section, and Links to the Past (in History & Culture.)
