Nice stop to make while in the Rocky Mountain National Forest. The park rangers were friendly and made it a point to come talk to the kids and tell them about the Junior Ranger program. They gave all the kids booklets geared towards their specific age and told them to fill it out along our journey through the forest and then find a ranger when complete. The kids had fun with the booklet and were super proud to be sworn in & given their very own Junior Ranger badge! Now they are official Junior Rangers!
Gorgeous scenery, a nice little museum and knowledgeable people there to answer questions.
This was a great stop while we were visiting Rocky Mountain National Park. The rangers were very helpful and informative. They were able to help our kids with the junior ranger program, and also had great suggestions for avoiding the crowds and traffic. The center has an interesting museum area upstairs and a shop and kid's play area downstairs. Best of all it has real bathrooms with running water, unlike the glorified port-o-potties that are necessary at the higher elevations (like on Trail Ridge Road).
Very nice location to learn about how Moraine Park was created. Lots of interactive exhibits for all ages. And view from up on the second floor is amazing. Even a little gift shop to take home a little momento of your visit to this beautiful area of Rocky National Park.
