Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

So close but so far from the bright lights of Las Vegas. We have ridden our bikes around the loop several times and really enjoyed the scenery of colors. Road is in great condition for road bikes. The "one way" direction makes for better safety. The visitor center is a good stop for info about the park

The Best Visitor's Center we have ever seen! We thought it was stunning. There are TWO parts to this Center. Part of it is inside but the best part is outside. Make sure you go outside. Panoramic views of Red Rock Canyon, live tortoises, beautiful and educational displays. Lots of plant and walkways. Lots of shade and places to sit. Very restful. Would go back again!!!

I parked and go in to ask for maps. One staff told me I was parked wrong. I was not as there are no signs to say I could not park there. The staff was so rude, I took the photos and left without speaking with anyone.

There's not much here. It's a good pit stop if you need (and the only full-service one on the one-way Scenic Loop), and has some maps, information, and a gift shop if you are so inclined. They do have a huge panoramic window looking across to the mountains which is neat, but seeing it outside is better. Overall, it's your typical basic visitor center/gift shop.

Had a morning off and wanted to see how things had changed over the last year, the Center is closed with no reopening date, gift shop is open and doing business, we think it just opened. Views from there are still awesome.

We did the loop drive and really enjoyed it. It is worth taking the short hike to the petroglyphs. Be sure to watch the video in the visitor center first.

A stop at the visitor center is a must upon entering the Canyon area. The 13-mile drive does not come back to this location and you must enter the canyon area again if you want to visit. The visitor center has exhibits detailing the flora, fauna and wildlife that inhabit the area. It also affords a great view of the Calico 1 and Calico 2 areas. There is also a gift shop and restrooms here.

Great visitor centre with lots of interesting facts and a well stocked shop. The loop then has lots of different stopping points where you can take photos/videos and actually walk around parts. Lovely and relaxing out there, feels like you're in the middle of a western film! Can get extremely hot!

An excellent visitor center of the Us forest authorities. The service is very good with a very nice display and a lovely walking tour around it.

Neat place to begin the Scenic drive in the Red Rock Canyon area. Very modern. Nice views out of the windows. Informative.
