Very warm friendly people working here. Plenty of information about the national park and tons of souvenirs to choose from

A treasure trove of useful information, maps, guide books, and a great souvenir shop too. The people that work there are friendly, and knowledgeable. Close to Joshua Tree National Park. They also have info for all of California. A must for first time visitors.

Very nice people and cool affordable souvenirs. Clean bathroom

An interesting place to stop. It has local artists and is more focused on the area than just the parks. People are nice and there is plenty of parking with clean bathrooms. It's worth a stop to see what they have, if you like to shop local artists, etc. It's great to have that much parking available and it is a good place to chill for a minute on a longer drive.

Very interesting place! Must see if visiting!

I moved to Yucca Valley a year and half ago. And I did not know all the wonderful selection of souvenirs this store had to offer. Along with the selection of Sees candies available.

It was pretty neat. The ladies there were really friendly and prices were exceptional. I walked in thinking it would be really expensive but it was actually pretty reasonable. I got lots of fun souvenirs to bring back to my home of Portland Oregon and am super excited to share my trip experience with everyone I love

Lots of info and cool stuff to buy if you want. Be aware, the prices are a little high for most of the items, but it is a non-profit and proceeds help keep Joshua Tree and other important local landmarks running. Plus the staff is knowledgable and friendly

The California Welcome Center,located in beautiful and scenic Yucca Valley should be everyone's first stop on their California deserts adventure as they travel through Yucca Valley and beyond!

Great welcome center. Tom is very knowledgeable and helpful. Clean restrooms, lots of paved parking behind building, electric car charging station, good supply of handouts as well as maps for purchase. They had some very good backcountry maps of the area produced by a local resident. The entrance from the street into the lot may pose a problem for some long, low clearance RV's as there is a bit of a grade.

We arrived 3 minutes before closing. While they continued their closing we didn't feel rushed. Still friendly & informative. Even watched a Ranger give the oath to a couple of Junior Rangers then the whole Center broke out in applause.

It's OK. Great that they have EV charging, but it would really be nice if they were even low end 25kw DC chargers, as then you could justify a 30 minute stop. Note to the local chamber of commerce - EV charging in the area is important. Think gas prices.

There are several of these scattered around the state. They are a great place to get info on all the things to do in that region. They have hundreds of free brochures and maps for various parks, restaurants tours and stores. Many of them you have to pay for at the attractions. Also have all kinds of arts and crafts by local artisans for sale, plus the usual tourist tchotchkes. Always a good place to check out, especially if you have never been to the area. Also good for a pit stop, have nice bathrooms.

a large visitor center with paid souvenirs and lots of free brochures and literature! the chamber of commerce is attached to the building and they had some free postcards! the older gentleman working (i think his name was Bill) was super kind and shared a lot of resources with us!

Very helpfull staff with lots of good advice. Suggest a sign a mile ahead as we went by it the first time

Well knowledgeable employees who can answer all your questions and suggest best options to go around Joshua Tree. There are tons are items to purchase and lots of local and Southern California tourist attractions details available. The cost is bit high

I always stop on my way to 29 Palms. They sell lovely California & Desert souvenirs that are made by local artisans. Staff is very nice.

Staff was terrific and helpful. Lots of gift options from local artists. Lots of travel options for local areas.

Very big, Lots of souvenirs. And the staff was very congenial. And informative.👍👍😁
