The children's activity at Geopark Gorontalo is called Geokidscare. Geokidscare was first initiated at the Botubarani site through the Village Empowerment Development Program (P3D) carried out by the Botubarani Youth Organization and the UNG Geology Student Organization.
The children's activities programmed at the Gorontalo Geopark are Sahabat Cilik Geopark (Little Friends of Geopark) at the Botubarani site, Sekolah Geotermal (Geothermal School) at the Pentadio Hot Springs geosite, and Sekolah Danau (Lake School) at the Limboto Lake biosite.

The involvement of children in geopark development continues to be increased at Gorontalo Geopark. Fostering love and care for the environment is important to do from an early age.
