Ouray Visitor's Center

"Has all the “tourists” details about the are. Easy access from highway 550, LOTS of parking. Nothing over 20 feet in length allowed in parking lot."

"One of the best visitor centers around! The volunteers are very helpful and kind. There is plenty of literature for the taking. The gift shop is well stocked with unique-to-Ouray items. There is always a full vat of ice water and a tray of cookies at the ready. The bathrooms are downstairs and clean. There is a cute deck outside with bistro chairs and one of the best views of the surrounding mountains and the hot springs pool. We especially enjoyed Ms. Mary - who helped my daughter with the town scavenger hunt and was truly a blessing. So sweet."

"This is a must stop! There is a lending library on the porch. The lady who works there was so sweet and friendly with my kids. There were activity books (free) for the kids, maps, free sunscreen station, gift shop, bathrooms and free coffee and cookies."

"The staff here were a delight! The offered us hot coffee ( a welcome treat after the terrifying drive there) then told us hairy stories of the best of ouray, before sending us on our way with a game plan for the week. We felt cared for and the information the team shared was priceless. Thanks for sending the postcard. It eventually arrived in the Southern Hemisphere! It was a real treat for the family."

"The people here were very helpful and knowledgable! We learned a lot about the history of Ouray and the best places to see on our trip there. They had plenty of maps and brochures to get ideas on things to do and all of the volunteers were fantastic in answering our questions."
