Joshua Tree Visitor Center Details

The Joshua Tree Visitor Center is located in the village of Joshua Tree, Calif., on Park Boulevard just south of Highway 62 (Twentynine Palms Highway). Rather undersized for a park this popular, the visitor center is often crowded and there can be a wait to talk to Rangers to get information. However, there is plenty of printed material on hand, and the visitor center features a bookstore, cafe, restrooms, phones and even public showers nearby. There's no film, but videos are shown on demand. There is an accessible desk and low exhibit displays as well as ADA-compliant restrooms here. The facility is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily; phone 760-366-1855.
