The Joshua Tree Visitor Center is the most popular visitor center for guests looking to explore Joshua Tree National Park. The visitor center offers exhibits and a park store for those wanting a keepsake to remind them of the wonder they just experienced. Visitors often find themselves at this location as it serves as the main gateway to the park. During the busier months between October through May, it is a good idea to pick up a park pass at the visitor center to help expedite those wanting to enter the park as lines tend to form at the ranger station.
