A Learning ExperienceFor the families who love mixing in a little education with their travels, Crater Lake’s Visitor Center has you covered. You can dive into the history of how the lake was formed, the wildlife that lives in the area, and some cool facts about volcanic activity. Plus, kids can join the Junior Ranger Program—it’s a fun way for them to learn while exploring the park. 🎒 Tips for Your Crater Lake Adventure 1. Pack SmartWhile the weather is usually mild, Crater Lake’s high elevation can mean cooler temps, especially in the mornings.
