Nice little visitor center with plenty of maps, brochures, and helpful information, plus a small…read moremuseum. The staff were helpful and welcoming, and there's a cute gift shop with White Mountain merchandise and local goodies. Public restrooms are also available. It's an easy pull off from the main road and a great first stop to get oriented to the area. There are also stamps here for people collecting travel book stamps. Kathy was especially great, she was very kind, helpful, and very funny. She went out of her way to make sure we had our trip planned out with all our questions answered. They also offer maps in multiple languages, including Chinese, French, German, Japanese, and Hindi and I loved the accommodation. Overall, great stop to get acquainted with the White Mountains!

A visitor center nestled in the middle of Vermont's tiny capital city of Montpelier. If you're…read morelooking for some suggestions on where to go around Vermont, this visitor center serves its purpose. Nestled in a beautiful historic looking home, I came here with a friend on a Saturday afternoon for some advice on where to drive for some great views of the leaf changes in the autumn season. The folks here drew a map with us, let us take it back with us and their recommendations were spot on! There is also complimentary self-serve wonderfully-brewed Green Mountain coffee (donations are accepted!). If you're seeking a little bit of advice on where to go and want to take a quick stop right across from their capital building--check out the visitor center!

Wow. Very tiny. The woman behind the counter was nasty. Just rude. I regret walking in the door. It…read moreis strange to have someone so unfriendly in a position that interacts with visitors. I also find it strange that right next to the door you don't have handicapped parking but instead have fleet parking for state vehicles. Another sign that you don't really care about visitors. Stop at a visitors center on the highway. They are much nicer and have a lot more information.

Usually there's a table with homemade baked goods for sale and there are vending machines on the outside for traditional junk food fare. Plenty of parking and very restful and green. A really pleasant stop on the highway going north towards Montpelier and Burlington.

We felt quite welcome here! Vermont really does an excellent job operating these centers. While…read morethis location is only open from 7 am to 7 pm, they do provide ports-potties outside for those evening hours when the building is not staffed.

We stayed next door, at the Alton Inn & walked over the bridge at sunrise…read more It was so beautiful, although we had driven over it a few times to just stand, look out and look beneath was amazing. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area, pictures attached!

Overall, this stop felt pretty underwhelming compared to other gorges around this area. The bridge…read morewas under renovation, but you could still walk across it. Even so, I'm not sure it would have made a big difference since you don't really get a clear view of the gorge unless you lean over a not-so-cute metal fence, and there are no photo opportunities if you want you and the gorge in the same pic. It really feels like there should be a trail or viewing area closer to the gorge itself. The visitor center is small but cute, with a little museum and a small gift shop, which was nice to briefly check out. Overall, I'd say it's not really worth the stop if you already have a packed itinerary. If you do go, the best approach is honestly just to walk across the bridge quickly and take a look from there, but I'd skip the trail. I am glad it's on protected land though and that it is being maintained so well. It just is an odd spot to have such large hype.

Ontario really does a great job promoting its tourism, first through the ONroute system of…read morefamily-friendly, clean, and shopper paradises lining 23 stops along Highways 400 and 401, and the through it's tourist info centers. Not all ONroutes have such abundant tourist centre as this one. First are the thousands of maps, brochures, and coupon/savings books categorized and numbered by region in their fair province. Then there are the reasonably priced Canada- and Ontario-themed souvenirs, from stuffed animals to tees to hats to hoodies and bags. There's also an actual lounge area with comfy leather armchairs to sit and chill. Best yet, a great staff that gave us some free pointers on how best to get to our destination. They can help plan whole trips and can even assist in making reservations. Man, they're really making me want to extend my trip to Ontario ... indefinitely!

The lady at the desk of this very small office was very helpful and knowledgeable. Kudos to her!!read more

We had a commitment for AAA to come pick up our motorcycle at 8am Wednesday (5/15/2024). At 7:30…read morethat morning we received a call telling us he wasn't coming, that his boom truck wasn't working. I immediately called AAA and they were unable to find a replacement until maybe afternoon. Finally, my husband rolled his bike down Smugglers Notch mountain to start it, a danger because the road was wet and gravelly, then rode it 30 miles to be repaired. Why are we paying all this extra money if these people won't honor it?
