The Dinosaur Quarry Visitor Center is the primary place in the park to view dinosaur fossils, but it has been closed indefinitely. A few fossils can be seen by hiking a short distance from the visitor center, and limited fossil displays have been set up at the Temporary Visitor Center, near the Dinosaur Quarry Visitor Center. The Canyon Area Visitor Center is the main entrance to the canyon area, the scenic vistas, Echo Park, and the Yampa Bench Road. There are no fossils in the canyon area of the park.
