About Great Sand Dunes Visitor Center
The Great Sand Dunes Visitor Center offers a unique and beautiful experience for visitors. It is known for its impressive dunes, described as one of the rare wonders on the planet. Families will enjoy the area, likening it to the world's biggest sandbox, perfect for kids to play in. Renting sand boards from the oasis near the park entry enhances the fun, with showers available for cleanup afterward. Visitors are advised to dress appropriately for the weather, as the area can be very exposed. The center itself is well-maintained, featuring an amphitheater for educational videos, a gift shop, and beautiful views of the dunes. There is ample parking, but guests should be prepared for a walk to the dunes and remember to bring water. Overall, the visitor center provides a friendly atmosphere and is a great place for a memorable outing.

We went to stargaze. It was amazing! These were taken at 10:40p with a cell phone. Very quiet and peaceful. A must do when in the area.

This visitor center offers a fantastic view of the Dunes right out the back. They have fantastic diorama educating visitors on the wildlife and fauna that you will find in the park. You can also watch a video about the dark sky experience from the Dunes at night.
