Reviews of Dry Falls Visitor Center (Travel Agency)

McKayla

Nice gift shop and information center

Sinisteroutlaw AJ

An awe inspiring glimpse at the after effects of one of the major calamities to sweep across the landscape. This site deserves a close look as the scope of this massive flood event is on a scale that is hard to imagine even with a small piece of the proof right in front of you.

Edward Wink

Great place to visit and see the sights. Visitors center is neat and clean and well organized. The staff was great to talk to and informative.

Tracy Thornton

A good place to stretch out after a long drive. Good views, good bathrooms, and they usually have a food vendor there.

Jenn Neff

Rachel H.

The free 15 minute video was awesome! There was also a ice cream stand outside that was a huge plus in the hot weather!

Ericka Edwards

I love learning about the history of the land! It's a very informative and it's free, but does take donations. They have a small museum, gift shop, and movie theater with short informative video. Also there's food trucks outside and bathrooms!

Edward Ribbeck

Great 40 times bigger than nigra falls.

Kevin Blake

Beautiful! In addition there was a public restroom and a food truck.

Carl Sgambelluri

We happened upon Dry Falls due to our path taking us towards Grand Coulee Dam. It was an excellent stop. We all had a good time learning about the ancient prehistoric Falls and we even got to see some of the Lakes down there. And the state park was excellent.

Tom Pitschka

Closed, padlocked, not open...visited 06/13/19

Scott Caldwell

Drove quite a distance to get here on Thursday because the website said the center building was open 7 days a week April to October. Frustrated to find it closed with a sign saying it was only open Friday-Sunday. It looks like a good place to visit, but you need to update your website, folks, with accurate information.

Oleg Kaminetskiy

Beautiful and wild scenery.

Rakshit Hegde

Wish the visitors center was open for longer hours. But the great view of the landscape can make you forget any stress that you have

If you visit this region in the summer then definitely step into the visitor center. The air conditioning is nice. You will also find taxidermied local animals on display. The view from the visitor center is just as good as the view from outside.

Loved reading the saga of geologist JH Bretz & his 30 year struggle to prove his theory of how the Dry Falls were formed!

Derek Boldrin

Very interesting facts and the a/c worked amazing on this 90 degree day!

Lorien Shaw

I cannot rave about Dry Falls and its Visitor Center enough! What a place! Truly, this geological wonder equals the Grand Canyon in epic scale...don't miss the opportunity to experience this ancient wonder, and be sure to stop at the Visitor Center for a thorough understanding of the collosal events that created this amazing place. Truly humbling.

Bonnie Burroughs

This is absolutely beautiful. One our favorite sites to take family members that are visiting to. It's so awe-inspiring. We are so blessed to have places like Grand Coulee Dam and that whole area to visit.

Ann Hopkins

Awesome place. Really enjoyed the film which describes how the coulees and Dry Falls lake were formed.

tina sims

We were in the area and I pulled up Google Maps to see what was nearby. I'm so glad I found this. It was one of the coolest parts of a 6 week vacation. I would rate it as a good attraction for everyone from young families with children to older people. We did the visitor center first, then got ice cream to eat on the way to the bottom. It's amazing how large the falls were. You can't fully take it in unless you drive down to the water. Some people called it off roading, but we were comfortable in a little Terrain. I'm not sure I would do it in a tiny, low riding car, but it's because of rocks, not mud. Would definitely suggest you go!

Marla Caviness-French

The Visitor Center was open. Really nice information about the Dry Falls area. The Dry Falls are spectacular any time of the year. Worth the stop for sure.

Su Liudahl

Everyone should stop here to learn about the ice-age floods and feel the perspective of looking out and imagining water thundering over those cliffs. Very informative. Nice folks on duty too. Nice little gift shop.

Bradley Burns

My family and I went there 09-12-2018 in the morning and the guy ranger working there was super nice! He definitely made stopping by there worth the visit.

O Т T.

The view is amazing!

David Dabling

Tremendous stop and nice interpretation of amazing ice age floods.

Nice place. Has amazing views. Restrooms & free parking available. There are 2 stalls for ice cream & soda as well.

A place to see. Great views and good information available. This waterfall has been a huge one. Visitor center was closed in March, but the restrooms were open, which was great. A lot of parking space available, picnic tables and benches. A place definitely worth a visit.

Erin Pakney

This is a gem in the middle of nowhere! Nice facility and friendly volunteers to answer questions (and take pictures for you

William Nakoa

Awesome views of one of the coolest attractions in Central Washington!

James Watkins

You like geology, this is the place, as Brigham Young might have said about someplace else. Evidently glacial Lake Columbia blew through an the ice dam and flow through the Grand Coulee and here, with enormous flows more than all the rivers in the world combined, creating this Coulee. Remarkable stuff, worth a drive. Bring a picnic.

Anatoliy Maslyanchuk

Love the view! It's interesting to see this dry landscape of what used to be an ice age river and waterfalls a long time ago. I was very impressed how clean the visitors center is. There is an impressive amount of information about area and pretty cool small museum. This place also has public restrooms which are also nice.

Danielle Byrum

So beautiful so worth the stop

Maggie Nicholson

Very informative and interesting

Misty Ness Loke

Very pretty worth pulling over for a quick stop to enjoy the site

Andrew Verge

Very informative stop and a gem of a tourist attraction right in my back yard. Great detailed and informative signage to paint a picture of what it might have been like. The tourist center was closed but thankfully the restrooms were not m. Cool building with great views I'm sure. The drive up to Dry Falls in Highway 29 North is spectacular.

John Lile

This is a great place to learn how the Washington land scape was formed.

Fascinating history. And a great lesson about how politics interfeared with science.

Matthew Brewer

A neat stop. Check it out!

lance hokanson

Love this place. Peering over the edge, imagining the apocalyptic geographical activity that carved this place. There's an amazing gourmet food trailer that's there all summer also. And ice cream.

Mark Owen

Excellent audio visuals and static display presentations related to the exceptionally unusual geological history of this region. Gorgeous views of the Dry Falls and vicinity. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. And sometimes even an Espresso and goodies concession operates here, although this summer the concessionaire became ill resulting in the closure of the concession until further notice. A great rest stop none the less.

Nicole Johnston

Dry Falls was an awesome sight! The pull off to the visitor center and viewing area was convenient. The view was gorgeous! And the visitor center had fun history facts and information. They also had a cool gift shop. There were also food trucks! My sister and I had some very delicious ice cream! It is totally worth a trip!

Aaron Erickson

This place was pretty cool. Lots of places to stay. RV parks or boondocking. Huge lake to play in. And everything else, trails to walk, lawns to lay on. Life here is good.

Justin Hancock

I've not been here in 20 years, still an awe inspiring view! If you get there chance to explore the canyon do it, tons of great views.

TearsOfAJadedStar

Pet, kid, and handicap friendly stop with wonderful views.

Jared DeFigh

Cool little museum with a movie room, gift shop has lots of stuff for kids, decent food outside.

Ashley Hanisko

We ended up at dry Falls State Park at the end of a very long road trip across the country. We were delighted to arrive to a beautiful landscape that looks very similar to West Texas. We were greeted by the most wonderful park employee we have ever encountered, her name was Tia. She is also from Texas, and we knew instantly that we were going to have a relaxing, safe and delightful weekend. We spent the morning sitting out by the water and taking photos, and got in quite a bit of hiking before it got too hot. The views are breathtaking, the campsites are very clean, and the amenities were perfect for us. We highly recommend that anyone in East Washington comes to stay here next time they are in the area.

Bill Walker

Great place for history, puppy and people stop. Venders not open yet.

my life

Beautiful veiw on the balcony

Jake P

Stop here. What the hell else ya gonna do.

Pacific Rock Northwest

I was in Palouse falls when I decided to come here since its just an hour away. So anyway the this park is beautiful with an Ice age history, not a whole lot to go on from the top besides imagining how much water used to come down this cliff. And if you manage to find the way down the cliff hey even better! But what makes this place so worth it is when you are coming from the south you'll pass multiple other lakes along the way and may discover some parks thats worth going to along the way! What I'd recommend is to go see Palouse Falls first then head over here at Dry Falls as they are close from each other!

Jenny Bridges

Beautiful place to visit.. A must-see.. Great family vacation

Bryan Hermans

The easiest and best way to see Dry Falls is the Visitor Center. With a Discovery Pass you are good to go. I have lived in the Grand Coulee my entire life, been all over the world, and still consider it a world class wonder. I never tire of it. I love the artful gazebo built in 1929. The viewing platform. The stone wall with heavy chains for a fence. The panoramic view. The visitor center building has nice exhibits; but the best part is the 3-D map of the Grand Coulee. For an added treat, there is a seasonal concession stand for meals and treats. Sometimes we just go up for an ice cream cone to eat while peering into the chasm.
