Yosemite National Park, California

Yosemite National Park, California for School-Age Kids

3 day trip

Day 1

    • Hiking
    Yosemite Falls

    Yosemite National Park, CA

    One fact alone should impress most kids: Yosemite Falls, with its 2,425-foot drop, is the tallest waterfall in North America, and the fifth tallest in the world. The hike...

    • Seafood
    • Italian
    Yosemite Lodge Mountain Room Restaurant

    Yosemite National Park, CA

    The Mountain Room is one of the few sit-down, full-service restaurants in Yosemite, and while it is kid-friendly, don't be surprised to see some guests dressed up...

    • Hiking
    El Capitan

    Yosemite National Park, CA

    El Capitan, a slab of granite 3,000-foot high, is probably the most famous rock-climbing site in the world. Undoubtedly, this is no amateur activity, but the kids can...

    • Hotel / Motel
    The Ahwahnee Lodge

    Yosemite National Park, CA

    Stay at the Ahwahnee Lodge, and you'll guarantee that your family talks about this trip for years to come. It's unquestionably a splurge, but with good reason: it's a national...

Day 2

    • Forest
    Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias

    Yosemite National Park, CA

    Few things will make a child -- or grown-ups, for that matter -- feel as miniature as standing next to one of these trees. Many of the massive, ancient sequoias in...

    • Train
    Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad

    Fish Camp, CA

    Perfect for the railroad buffs in your family -- or anyone pooped from a day of hiking -- this steam train (think: blowing whistles and chugga-chugga sound effects) will take you...

    Yosemite National Park, CA

    Stay at the Ahwahnee Lodge, and you'll guarantee that your family talks about this trip for years to come. It's unquestionably a splurge, but with good reason: it's a national...

Day 3

    • Park
    Glacier Point

    Yosemite National Park, CA

    The view from the overlook at Glacier Point (with an elevation of 7200+ feet) is truly dizzying, with panoramic views of Yosemite Falls, Nevada Falls, Vernal Falls and the High...

    • Park
    Half Dome

    Yosemite National Park, CA

    A Yosemite icon, the Half Dome is easy to glimpse from around the Yosemite Valley, since the impressive granite crest rises more than 4,500 feet above the valley floor. You...

    • Pizza
    • Family Dining
    • Take-Out
    Pizza Deck Bar in Curry Village

    Yosemite National Park, CA

    Kids love pizza, and there is no better spot to enjoy a slice than from the deck in the heart of Curry Village. The views of Glacier Point and the...

    • Science & Nature Museum
    Nature Center at Happy Isles

    Yosemite National Park, CA

    If you're visiting Yosemite in summer, the Nature Center at Happy Isles is a must-do. (It's also open on some weekends in spring and fall.) There are lots of...
