Plan Your Visit
 

First Time Visitor

The Visitor Center has a museum, bookstore, introductory slide presentation and research library. Outside there are nine other buildings, seven of those open to the public. Although easy walking there is a lot to see, so plan on spending at least a couple hours in the park.
