Reviews of Beaver Meadows Visitor Center (Travel Agency)

Esperanza Garcia-Degrate

The staff in the visitors center were very nice and helpful. The bathrooms are on the outside of the center. Elk were outside eating which was fascinating.

Andrew Boom

This is a great place to go before exploring the park. Pick up a junior rangers book for kids and watch the movie downstairs

David McDonald

Small but informative with 2 3D maps and a small theater with a 23 min move shown on the half hour

richard guenther

The shuttle doesn't stop here and there isn't much inside except the theater that shows a 20 minute movie. I'll probably stop by to see the movie tomorrow. There is a good topographic map outside - easy to miss off to the left as you come to the main entrance.

Richard Ryer

Not much to see in the way of displays. There is a park movie shown every 30 minutes and there is a nice bookstore and gift shop. Plenty of rangers and volunteers to talk with to get get up to date information on the park conditions.

Idiosyncrasy

Nice place. Though it was smaller than I expected. I wasn't looking for a huge visitor center but still. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable as expected

Dana Heavner

Stop and get a good map of the area. They have a great touch and feel relief map of the area for kids too!

Chuck D

Went in the winter so I got to walk the pond frozen over. The loop was fun to walk, I'm sure its nicer in the spring.

Keith Vinzant

Nice visitors center but they need more Park rangers giving info. Too long of lines waiting for info.

Lorenzo Garcia

It was a great place to stop and ask about trials and best places to go see .

Joannie Pharand

We were the first ones there on a Thursday morning and were welcomed by very nice volunteers to help guide us. We got a map and some details on hikes.

Angus Bennion

Nice small visitors center. They didn’t have a wide variety of magnets for sale. The water fountains were also not working.

Amber Fisher

Nice visitor center. Large parking lot with bathrooms. Visitors center has a nice gift shop and you can also view a movie downstairs.

Scott Douglass

Dustin Sweeney

Clean bathrooms and a great first view up to the Rocky Mountain national park.

Spring Dasgupta

The 23 minute video is a nice introduction to your time at RMNP.

Melissa Peña

One of the first visitor centers when you go into the park. Lovely little place with Frank Lloyd Wright inspired architecture. Everyone is super helpful, and they have good bathrooms.

sue dunbar

Rangers were very helpful and gave us options for hikes. Movie is informative and a great way to begin our first visit to the park

Isaac D2

This place is awesome! We went at the end of May, and Trail Ridge Road was still closed due to snow. However the view behind the visitor center is beautiful. They have a mini-movie downstairs that teaches you a little bit about the park. There were also two 3D maps of the park which made it easier to see where we wanted to go and as well as see the scale of things a little better. The park ranger we talked to told us about some of the best places in the park to visit, when to go, and what we would be able to see. He was very informative! Great visitor center and a great experience!

John P Shamrock

Park rangers were very helpful and a nice center

Arpita Mondal

Can be crowded in the morning... the earlier you go the better it is... best if u have your specific questions ready... u can get the maps from the park entrance... so if you only need that, you can skip this center. We had questions about what we can do with a toddler... so they were helpful on that.

jjrod50

Top notch staff. To deal with that many people and answer the same questions every 5 minutes with a smile and enthusiasm is phenomenal. An exceptionally neat and clean facility too.

Eric Pryzant

This one is one of the worst visitors centers I’ve seen across the US but even then it’s still a national park so the experience is worth it.

Sahana Joshi

Located few miles away from Estes Park, very much convenient to get the information about the national park. Rangers are knowledgeable and give accurate information about the trails and ranger programs. Also shows enthusiasm in telling people about the best viewing and photographic locations. Rest rooms are very well maintained cleaned and small gift shop located inside the visitor center.

Desi Mora

Great place to visit before entering or exiting the park. The staff is friendly and courteous and hard working.

Michael Hughett

The gateway to one of the greatest National Parks ever.

Jesika Croom

Clean restrooms, great variety of hiking supplies, as well as t-shirts and small souvenir type items. Friendly and helpful attendant that provided us with local trails and level of difficulty for each! Will definitely return if in the area.

Anil Maddimsetti

Would love to come back here, the last time I was here in Jan of 2018 the park was closed due to Govt shutdown. However the drive up to the park was really breath taking with the mountains and twisty roads. It would be great for the staff to leave the national park stamp outside so people can get the park stamp even when the visitor center is closed.

T. Scott Smith

It is in Rocky Mountain National Park and quite beautiful

Tim Kuhse

There's so much to do, the trails and fresh air are only matched by the scenery

Joseph Kreutzer

Rocky mountain national park, what else do we need to say?

Donovan B.

Beaver Meadows is the west entrance to the Rocky Mountain National Park. We also drove through from the Estes entrance. This visitor center was ok but Estes was a bit better but also alot more crowded too. Both have the same souvenirs though. Definitely recommend going through both ways. It was a blast!

Drew Clark

There is no greater use of tax dollars than the National Park Service. I had a great time in this small visitor center, found a few souvenirs for friends and spoke to a ranger for hiking recommendations. Her name, no kidding, was Robin Williams. Quite auspicious. We drove every road that wasn't closed with snow (April). Awesome time!

Michael Holmes

Rangers are helpful, nice selection of RMNP merchandise.

Nicholas Tomaselli

Clean restrooms and very helpful staff who know everything there is to know about the area and the trails nearby.

Bobby Chang

Very nice people.

Ann Wobbe

Great staff! So helpful!

Andrea Mulkin

Loved it here. Can't wait to go back again.. I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends.

Jean Welch

Wonderful Rocky Mountain National Park Visitor's Center. A park ranger told us of short hikes & answered all our questions. Thanks for an amazing spot!!

Chris Martin

RMNP is incredible! So beautiful!

Rick Reeser

A few hands-on activities, good info, nice views, store, outside walking trail, and Rangers to answer questions.

John Goluch

Pleasant and efficient staff, good merch

Terra Costin

Sooooo crowded! Also, this Visitor's Center doesn't have a squished penny machine, and all their magnets have descriptions of park features on them. I just wanted a nice picture with the name of the park. I highly recommend stopping at the Fall River Visitor's Center instead. It is still crowded, but since it is larger it doesn't feel so crazy. It also has a much better selection of souvenirs.

Chip Prentice

Too many people driving too fast pulling off wherever they want in the middle of the road

Patrick Frank

Great stop before you enter the park!

Gerald Flynn Flynn

Very informative about the surrounding area.

Duane Huck

Very informative stop prior to entering the Park.

Steven Bell

Rangers are nice and helpful. Would be nice to have park maps.

Randy Miller

Beautiful setting with a great visitors Center. Pleasant drive there and on to the Lake. Rangers and Staff were all very friendly and knowledgable. Facilities were well maintained and grounds spotless. Definitely and great visit and place we will come back to again and again.

Nathan Tollison

Great place for a quick stop on your way through Rocky Mountain National Park.

Tyler Cox

Loved visiting bear lake. I would definitely recommend going here.

Jon Paolini

Love RMNP period... cool rangers great park!

Rikin Patel

Made a quick stop for restroom and it was clean. Has plenty of parking and helpful staff.

Annette Garrett

Very good place to go if you need information about where you're going and plus they have food and drink to snack on

David Cuellar

Well kept trails.

Lynda Haley

Rangers are always helpful. It can get pretty crowded here on weekends and in summer, but worth the stop. We always watch the movie downstairs. If it's your time to visit, watching the movie before heading on the park will give you a greater appreciation and understanding of the history.

Sensei Victor

This is the nicest visitor center I ever seen. The view was breathtaking and the location was clean.

Derial Bivens

I stopped in there near the end of the day on my way up to the top of Pikes Peak. Surprisingly, it had more of the feel of a little country store (which it actually is) than of a tourist trap. The man at the counter was very personable and friendly and the prices were not that bad for a little store that isolated. True, it caters to hikers and tourists but you don't feel like you have been taken advantage of when you leave.

Lisa Griffis Tasse

Jack and Jennifer were awesome with our questions and what to do in 2 days. Well worth a stop before going into the park. Extra maps available of the different points of interest and trails.

Leah Hall

This was the end of a gorgeous drive along Trail Ridge. Temps at the top are quite a bit cooler so bring a jacket.

Marcus Forelius

Great staff, decent exhibits, but small gift shop.

Sherry Borders

Open with restrooms but saw no big rig parking

Frank McCormick

The National Parks are America's Best Idea. RMNP is a treasure. Please treat it like one and obey the park rules. Stay on the trails, stay away from wildlife, and especially, please don't walk on the tundra - it's an exquisitely fragile ecosystem.

Daniel Haryasz

Rocky Mountain National Park is a must see.

Judy Scott

Nice visitor center. Friendly and informative staff. A must stop before going into the park.

Ben Nelson

Great stop before you get into the park. Info on commute times and trailhead lot fill up times are posted inside.

John Utsey

Great service, the rangers we're friendly and answered all questions. The large FAQ board was helpful.

Jeff Miller

All the we encountered were pleasant and approachable. The location was clean neat and orderly.

John Livaditis

Small visitor center for how busy and hype the park was. Hooked us up fat with what we needed though.

Pratyush Jaiswal

Great staff. Lovely displays.

Logan McCarthy

Pretty place, but the other visitors centers have much more and nicer staff.

Betty Bearss

Lots of good information.

DO L

Not a very large or informative visitors center. Has a movie, but overall facility appears to be small and inadequate for the crowds we encountered there. The ride was excellent over the Rocky Mountains.

Becky Deitenbeck

Breathtaking views! Great gift shop staffed with very nice people. The Rangers are superb. There was a herd of Elk not far from the visitors center. Great hiking.

Sreenath M

A wee bit over crowded. But scenically spell bound.

Kendra Smith

Gorgeous! The Frank Lloyd Wright inspired center is worth seeing.

Cathy Trimble

Smaller than many visitor centers; excellent movie shone about RMNP

Lilo Santos

This a nice facility with plenty of educational opportunities. The staff is friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable!

Susan Poteet

Beautiful. Knowledgable people, very helpful.

Megan J

Beautiful scenery with souvenirs and information about the park. Rangers are helpful and friendly.

Jeffrey Odell

Very good information from helpful staff here

Jake White

The Center was quite busy as it was a holiday weekend, but the staff was very courteous and informative for how to best navigate the area.

Christie Hensley-Wieland

If you love nature and hiking Rocky Mountain National Park has great views and great trails$

Samantha Plumley

Man working the desk was extremely helpful! Knew his way around the park to make suggestions that fit what we wanted to get out of our hike. Has a cool model of the park as well.

Himanshu V' Karma

This place has several trails and if you drive up it has many more trails and beautiful scenic views!!

Michael Strand

A nice NPS visitor center. This site brings back good memories of trips with our kids.

Tiffany Elliott

Friendly/ knowledgeable staff. Small gift shop.

Faye Garrison

Beautiful views, friendly customer service, clean

Nitin Mathur

Perfect place to start and get all the information. Very friendly staff, they basically planned our vacation and what to do when based on recent animal sightings.

Kimber Ferm

I was given directions on how to see the best views in the time I had available by the friendliest and most helpful park ranger I have ever met.

Evalynn Trumbo

Great visitors center. They have a FAQs board that's super helpful but the guides are great with suggestions for hikes with the amount of time you have in the park. We ended up doing Deer Mountain, and multiple trails at Bear Lake (Gem Lake, Nymph Lake, Emerald Lake, Lake Haiyaha, Alberta Falls).

Linda Gore

Very friendly and helpful. Go down step to view 23 minute movie.

Steve Stowers

The visitor center was excellent. We spoke to a few different rangers that gave us an excellent lay of the land and really were welcoming to the park. This park is so big, and has so many things to see and do so I really suggest going to see these friendly, talented Rangers to understand the current conditions and directions.

Phil Criswell

Awesome topographical map of the park outside.

Jon Amore

I have been there many times and it's always a delightful place to visit mansions and Lady rooms are immaculate and has plenty of room for

finlay wood

Great visitors center. Not much in exhibits, but they do have a nice auditorium with videos showing every 30min.

bruce mcdonald

Helpful place but the line can back up with a single ranger answering questions

Karen Heath

Good information for the park, passport stamps available, great introductory film for the park.

Nitin Kashyap

Very friendly and helpful staff. I had a few questions about trail closures and they had all the information available and provided alternative trails to explore. You can fill up your water here and also purchase some souvenirs at the gift shop. The view from behind the Visitor center is amazing and gives you a good welcome to the Rockies.

Debby Payne

Beautiful, lots of antelope on side of roads, even crossing the road. White cap mountains. And beautiful sunsets. For the best adventure for the day. You could travel up to 5 hours for the best scenic views of the mountains and the lakes.

Bob Wolfson

Note that tickets are not sold here! Continue into the park to get to the ticket booths.

Sharon Rumley

This visitor center was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. There was a very nice gift shop. Rangers are helpful and the short movie was interesting.

Jake Kalifornia

Great place to visit before you enter the park. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. They provided us advice on what areas are best for seeing animals. They also have a nice gift shop with a variety of offerings at reasonable prices. This is also a good spot to use the restroom. The restrooms are heated, have running water, are clean and well maintained.

Ryan Berglund

Great place to use the bathroom and get information about the park from friendly rangers. There is a short video about the park but I'd recommend the alpine visitors center for more exhibits about the park and it's wildlife.

Leon Borgomainerio

Enjoyed the video they play every 30 minutes. Good gift shop.

Jay Kamdar

Very informative staff, must stop before entering the RMNP

Peter Robertine

Interesting architecture. Building inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright made of steel and rock. Small gift shop - the big one is at the Alpine visors center. Rangers inside were helpful.

Christopher Jorgensen

Friendly staff and park rangers who are helpful and great with kids

Joseph Rood

I went their to pick up our camping permit. $30 split between a group of 5 people is a great price to camp in the national forest. They have the best rangers there. They gave me a great overview of the area we would be staying in and things to watch out for and look for. In a friendly, yet authoritative way he charged me with keeping the forest clean and doing my part to preserve it which is very important to me.

Thomas Alderson

Excellent and friendly staff, large selection of merchandise in the gift shop and very interesting exhibits. Crowded but that is expected during mid-afternoon. Restrooms on site we're clean and did not stink. Would return and recommend it to other travellers.

Sherie Loverkamp

I wasn't here long enough to really look around, but it was a really nice facility. I would have loved to have time to look around the gift shop. The restrooms were nice and clean. Lots of parking available.

Rick Mahnn

The national park price is too high at this point. Yes, it helps. But there should be 7 day and 14 day passes with a decent price reduction so more people will want to stay longer.

Jeramy Garfield

Great info, rangers very helpful

kevin graff

Really friendly and helpful staff. We got the maps and information requested.

K Parks

Smart so to make to make your plans for the day or weekend too be best prepared.

Mansoor Burhani

Extremely friendly and informative staff! Thank you!

Khalid Musa

Knowledgeable park rangers. Helped to determine what trails to take

nanci martinez

Great service and cute gift shop

Vaishnavi Soundar

The restrooms were really dirty. In all fairness it was raining the day we went, and the volume of visitors were high. But I do wish there had been better maintained places for us to go to at the end of a very wet and long hike.

John Adams

Not much there, except for information about the park. Oh, there is a nice 23 minute movie.

John Johnson

Truly enjoyed the visitor center told the Ranger on duty I would cut him in on Fenn’s Treasure when I found it! Still Looking.

Jens Leerssen

Very helpful staff, with excellent selection of books and guides.

Richard Saalfeld

Always a great place to start your visit to Rocky Mountain National Park.

Get info before entering the Rocky Mountain National Park

richard overkamp

Awesome! Very nice AND reasonably priced gifts!!

Tara Venkatesh

Knowledgeable rangers. We used their tips and saw a herd of 85 elk today!

Jessica Lawson

GO HERE!! FANTASTIC VIEWS!! Wildlife as well!!

Stuart Burkhart

Nice clean visitor center with a gift shop and restrooms.

Danae Bye

Super helpful rangers that gave great advice for our hike. We came in March so it’s always a bit up in the air, but he was super helpful on giving us a map, showing us where to go, letting us know the trail conditions, and telling us the level. They have a nice little shop and a place to learn more about the wildlife too. Would suggest stopping in to see what you are getting into. (Pictures is from deer ridge trail)

Linda Canida

We stopped here in order to break up a long leg of travel and were quite pleasantly surprised. This is a pleasant oasis on the Kansas prairie. We were on a ridge overlooking a lake. These particular sites were newer pull-throughs with full services. There are also back-in sites in a wooded area, some with water and electric. The tent sites are rustic. Go and enjoy some time fishing or boating.

Sharon Doyle

This is a nice visitor center in Rocky Mountain Natl Park, which has spectacular views of mountains. They have friendly park Rangers as staff & a cute gift shop. The building is very clean with ample restrooms. There is also a Theatre down the basement for some kind of shows, which we could not stay for. We went toward the end of October & they were still open.

Edwin Andrews

Beautiful trails. Very well maintained.

Tom Trimmer

Ranger Andie gave my family fabulous advice on hikes and where to see the elk rut and was super kind to my 3 5 and 7 year olds. Fantastic experience thanks Andie and NPS!

Christen Lawless

The gift shop had great items and the staff was super friendly! The park rangers were very knowledgable about the different trails and will recommend what trails to take based on your experience, kids, etc.Theyll also let you know if there is any muddy or snowy trails.
