Pioneer Kids' Christmas

What were the holidays were like for kids during the 1860s, when ranchers began to settle in the Government Canyon area?

Learn about and make traditional pioneer toys and crafts and sing carols at this come-and-go event. All ages are welcome. We'll meet at the Amphitheater. The closest parking will be in Lot C.

Registration is NOT required for this activity. Though the event is free, entrance fees to the Natural Area do apply. We often fill to capacity. To ensure entrance and save time at the Fee Booth, please pre-purchase and print out a day pass. There is often a line at the fee booth; arrive early to get to your activity on time.

Dress for hiking outdoors. Comfortable shoes, sunscreen, layered clothing, and a hat are recommended. Bring water and a snack (if desired).
