Reservation Information
Denali is a good place for families. Parents can expose their children to a lot of information as well as good hiking and animal viewing. Just resist the temptation to take that very long bus ride. The visitor center center at Eielson is as far as you can reasonably go with a group of kids.

Make sure all your kids have proper clothing, backpacks and footwear, as well as plenty of water and snacks and sandwiches. It is a good idea to have enough binoculars too. One for everyone is ideal. You can rent them locally.
