Denali Visitor Center
The main visitor centre at the park entrance, with exhibits, films and ranger talks. It is the starting point for trip planning and hiking.
Denali Visitor Center sits in the park entrance area. Its exhibition halls use specimens and multimedia displays to present the park's geology, wildlife, the Athabascan Indigenous peoples and mountaineering history, and a screening room shows a park film. Rangers lead talks and guided hikes every day. You can check road conditions, wildlife sightings and the weather here. Many trails start from this point. Nearby are the Murie Science and Learning Center and the Denali depot of the Alaska Railroad. Admission to the centre is free, and park entry is charged separately.
