Grand Canyon Family and School Tours

Families are especially welcome on all our Canyon Dave Tours. Get ready for hands-on learning! We love kids and we play games with them as we teach them. On most tours, you may indeed doubt that active children will be able to endure without becoming bored or agitated. On a Canyon Dave Tour, just the opposite is true.

For example, at Grand Canyon your children will learn of the four chapters of Grand Canyon geologic history and will be invited to act out each chapter, to the delight of everyone. This is always a memorable photo or video opportunity.

Our methods of combining learning with play are so successful! Young kids 5 to about 12 years enjoy the Ultimate Tour and are sad when it is over. (But you will be happy!) For infants and toddlers, consider our private tours--just your own family and friends.

As we walk the safe paths (that are not too close to the edge!), the kids have plenty to see and do. A child's innate curiosity often inspires the most interesting questions.

For our drives between viewpoints, we have wildlife pictures and children's books on interesting topics to keep them busy and happy. Our explanations of animals, plants and history are given in a way that kids can easily understand, without over-simplifying, so the adults are also well-informed.

Your family vacation is special and important to you, and to us. We pride ourselves in providing an immensely enjoyable day for everyone, both young and old. So if you want to visit the Grand Canyon with kids, please do join us!

The public tours are good for 5 to 12-year-olds and teens (use your judgement). But on our special Private Tours, all infants, toddlers, and big kids are welcome with you! You will want to bring your own car seats. We will be able to accommodate any and all special stops for taking care of the little ones. It feels so great for the parents to enjoy the marvelous Grand Canyon even with infants on our Private Tours.
