To be honest, it didn't occur to me to review a visitor's center, which is a shortcoming on my part. I guess I take such places for granted, and that's too bad. In any case, if you're coming to this part of Utah it is imperative that you stop here. The center isn't large, but it's packed with information and what isn't on display is stored in the memory of the staff. I asked questions about a couple of obscure locations and the gentleman not only knew what I was talking about, but he pulled out a photocopied map of the area I was looking for (House on Fire Ruins). The bathrooms are clean and there are museum-quality displays of historical information. I was amazed and grateful. (You will be grateful too--make a generous donation and pay it forward for the next visitors.) And, I saw Tesla stations in the parking lot. In Blanding, UT!

This is among the best visitor centers in the country. The volunteer ladies at the register are knowledgeable, passionate, helpful, accommodating and super generous with their time. Free WiFi, complimentary computer use, lollipops for the travelers, free maps, brochures, info. Oh, and impeccably maintained restrooms. I was so happy to see that the Visitor Center even has TESLA charging stations for electric cars.

Nice visitor center with plenty of parking for any size unit. Found flyers on all sightseeing area's in the area. Picked up maps to all our destinations and found new ones we hadn't seen before. Very friendly people that work there. A must do to plan a great vacation in the area!

Great helpfull resource for information about the town and local sights. Had maps and other literature. Was able to give detailed information on what to do and what to see. A real surprise on being treated like A visitor. Worth the time to stop and discuss

I drove into Blanding on a Saturday evening and found the visitor centre to be excellent, just as the many other postings have said. But I must reiterate what a previous poster said about the town itself, which became very handy for me. Blanding does not have many restaurants at all, especially in the evening and Yak's (the breakfast place) was of course closed on Sunday. The visitor centre people and the motel employees fortunately told me to dash over to the soon-to-close supermarket to pick up food for the next day, as I was travelling to Torrey and Capitol Reef NP - more than 300 kilometres with nary a store or town in sight. Im glad I did! I find it curious that Blanding does not have more facilties geared to us adventurers, as it really is in the midst of a lot of great sites. Just be prepared.

They have maps and guide books and some nice historical displays. They have area books - both pictorial and historical.

We thought a at the Blanding Visitor information would be no more than a quick stop. This place has a nice pioneer display worth having a look at. The information we got helped us plan our stay in Blanding and we loved the old time exhibits of the towns early settlers. Thanks for the tootsie pop too!it is worth the stop, volunteers very friendly and knowledgeable.

I'm a little cynical about small-town visitor's centers. Most try hard w/ nice people but have little to offer. This place ROCKS! Amazing how much they have in such a little space, but the best are the very knowledgeable people who can share all kinds of hidden gems to discover in the area. GREAT books (but I'm not unbiased!) Lots of free information, too. Don't forget to walk across the street to see the folks at Four Corners Adventures for tons more great local information and adventure opportunities!

Nice center. We were given another fine recommendation where to eat, such as Homestead Steak House. Directed us to where you can see the sunset, which is at the University on the W. side of town.

This is far more than the average visitor's center. Truly one of the very best I've encountered.The front desk personnel are friendly and helpful, the bookstore is well stocked, the brochures are plentiful, the museum is interesting, and the quilts are always worth viewing. The internet is slowish, but it is available and the room housing the computers is clean and reasonably private.The bathrooms are emaculate - roomy, cleaned regularly, well provided, and hot water is available. We stop here frequently while camping and hiking in the area to clean up, gather our wits, and relax outside in the shade. Highly recommended.
