We're in summer vacation season and families are out and about on the road. If a visit to Grand Canyon National Park is a planned (or even unplanned) stop and, if you have kids with you, there's plenty of things at the park for them to do.

If you’re traveling with children, visiting Grand Canyon National Park can present unique challenges, what with navigating crowded paths and roads at peak times and keeping little ones far enough away from the ever-present edge of the abyss.

The entrance fee to Grand Canyon National Park is $35 per vehicle and is good for seven days. The park offers a handful of free-admission days each year. The next one is Sunday, Aug. 25.
